Overview

Let's face it, no woodworker particularly enjoys cleaning saw blades or router bits, so the easier we can make it, the better. This kit does just that, combining an extremely effective saw blade cleaning solution with two conveniently-sized containers that allow you to soak your blades and bits and let the blade cleaner do the brunt of the work for you. A brass brush is also included to whisk away the more stubborn particles. With clean, cool-running cutters, you'll get more precise cuts, a longer cutter life and spend far less on sharpening costs.

Features:
  • The jumbo sized "blade bath" features a raised inner ring, which prevents the blade from suctioning to the bottom
  • 14" inside diameter accepts a 12" blade with plenty of room at the edges for easy removal
  • Kit includes 14" plastic blade bath with lid, 1 quart (makes 1 gallon) of Pitch and Resin Remover-a highly effective saw blade cleaner-brass-bristled scrub brush and a 6 oz. plastic jar with lid for cleaning router bits

What's included

(1) 14" blade bath with lid
(1) Quart of Pitch and Resin Remover (makes 1 gallon)
(1) Brass-bristled scrub brush
(1) 6 oz. plastic jar with lid for cleaning router bits

Simple. I've tried various other methods including my wife's cookie sheet (we had words on that one), and my car parts cleaner. They worked, but it was such a hassle. This cleaner was designed to do what I needed.

Last week after using my dado blade set, I noticed the blade teeth were very pitch covered. I started trying to clean the pitch off with a scraper and wire brush. Very poor progress with this manual method.
I previously saw this cleaning kit on your web site and thought this must be a better way.

How do you keep the lid from opening up? I reseal the lid and it pops up.
William B on Sep 2, 2015
BEST ANSWER: When I put the lid on I seal it all the way around, then pull up slightly on the pull tab while pushing down firmly on the center to push the air out, ...like tupperware. Never had the lid pop off, even when moving it from workbench to shelf.
Do you ship your products to a home address?
A shopper on May 19, 2015
BEST ANSWER: yes we do.
Do I have to take the bearing off of my router bits first?
Steve on May 30, 2016
BEST ANSWER: No need to do that. Just swish the bit in the liquid for a few minutes, spin the bearing and let the gunk out and the bearing is spinning freely. Let dry and reoil/grease as before. You're good to go!
How long can you keep the mixture? Should it be disposed of after initial blade cleaning, or does it keep for a later use?
Ted K on Jun 18, 2015
BEST ANSWER: I was told that you can use the cleaner over and over as long as you keep it clean. I've used mine once so far so we'll have to see how it cleans using the same cleaner next time.

I had many saw blades that...
I had many saw blades that needed cleaning,and was looking for a product that would do a thorough job.This product came through with flying colors!I used the concentrate in its undiluted state...and let each blade sit for 10 minutes!wearing a pair of rubber gloves...I raised the blade from the liquid and used to brass brush to go over each tooth,...and did both sides. I tried out a newly cleaned blade...and no burn and all the pitch was removed. No need to pay for an expensive sharpening.It's mostly the buildup of residue from the wood. Following the cleanup of 6 blades,I strained the cleaner through some mesh screening plastic available at any box store.It's usually used for replacement of screened doors and windows.After the first screening to remove the heaviest material,I placed several layers of screening together and poured the cleaner through it.The process,although a bit time consuming,allowed me to reclaim most of the cleaner,and return it to it's original container.Buy a small set of funnels available at most hardware,auto or box stores.Simple Green and many of the concentrated cleaners will also do an adequate job as the Rockler cleaner.Wash the blue blade container with hot soapy water,dry off,and return to it's box...ready for service the next time you need to clean blades.I highly recommend this product,and the price is very reasonable.

Great buy, quality product
I wish I had bought this 25 years ago. I would have saved a fortune in not buying new saw blades.
November 16, 2014
A great addition to my shop.
I like the cleaning kit, the process is easy and effective, blades and bits are clean and back to like new working order. I would recommend this to anyone working with wood.

Great Product
I have been using this to clean blades, drills, router bits & end mills for a couple years now and will say it is well worth the price. It even takes off pine pitch.

This basic kit does exactly what...
This basic kit does exactly what is needed to quickly clean our framing business' 100 tooth blades quickly 5 minute soak in a 50:50 cleaner/water mix. Another 5 minutes for brush scrubbing and drying the blades, and you are good to go! Twenty minutes time spent for saving $75/set at the machine shop that was sharpening for us, sounds like I'm being paid the equivalent of $225/hr. for this simple task, plus I don't wait 2 weeks to get my blades back from the sharpener. I have used simple green previously, and it works fine, but nowhere near as well as the Rockler provided cleaner.Great Product, Great Price. Thank You!

This product is the best. It...
This product is the best. It even works better hot. Mix the recommended amount and soak for a minute or two. I heat it in the jar for a couple of minutes then poor it into the pan. You don't even need a brass brush. A good stiff tooth brush works as well. You can even buy a set of three brushes (ie; brass, stainless steel, white bristle) at most hardware stores for $1.00

The solution does a great job...
The solution does a great job and performs as advertised. I'm disapointed with the large blue tub. When purchased, I liked the idea that I could leave the solution in the blue container, and simply close the "tupper ware" like lid. This worked for about 24 hours, then the action of the chemicals on the plastic caused the seal of the lid to relax. Now the lid won't stay on properly, and is curled up to the point where it is not functional as a seal. Every time I clean a blade, I have to empty the contents of the tub into an old milk jug.

Lid out of the box was...
Lid out of the box was warped and would not seal. Used brush on one blade and it showed significant wear after use. Blade was not that dirty but cleaned up well as advertised.Cannot store solution in container with seal issues as noted Requires a large amount of cleaner as well to fill to the point to cover single 10 in. blade (app. 25% of included cleaner solution).

Rockler pitch and resin removal
I have three saw blades for my table saw so I have to clean them a lot. I used the product on my saw blade about 6 times now I'm happy to report it takes all the debris off the Saw Blades thank you.
As you can see no pitch and no resin left on the saw blades.
