Brilliant Trick for Cleaning Saw Blades

Clean resin and pitch from saw blades with spray oven cleaner.

A gloved hand holds a spray can, aiming it towards a circular saw attached to a rod inside an open cardboard box.

Clean resin and pitch from saw blades with spray oven cleaner. Suspend the saw blade from a dowel punched through a cardboard box. Spray both sides of the blade, close the box flaps for 10 to 20 minutes, then wash off the cleaner and gunk in warm water and dry the blade with a towel. Work outside so you don’t have to breathe the oven cleaner fumes.
