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

It is a great system. I use a lot of softwood on some projects, especially pine, and I need a way to clean my saw blades and router bits.

I have some saw blades that need to be cleaned
Darwin G on Jun 16, 2016
Worked great cleaned my saw blade in no time even with a good build up. Highly recommend this item. only issue is wish the container was a bit more sturdy. the center bowed up and didn't allow my saw blade to completely submerge. Not a big deal just put some weigh in the center when soaking and worked like a charm.
Brandon S on Jun 15, 2016
I use a lot of saw blades and they don't all need sharpened but they start to leave burn marks as you cut, more so on finish blades. this will take off the residue and lengthen the life of the blade between sharpenings.
Jeff K on Jun 13, 2016

joseph m on Jun 2, 2016
I use a lot of cypress and pine which has a lot of resin. I find that if I clean my blades more often, I don't have to sharpen. Time and money saver.

Matthew R on May 23, 2016
I want to extend the life of my table saw blades. When the pitch builds up on them the cut is compromised. I use expensive, top quality blades, and I want to get as much use out of them as I can.

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: I don't leave the bearing on my router bits so can not directly answer the question---I can say that the cleaning solvent and tools (pan and brush) work wonderfully on my saw blades and bits---I believe it is unlikely that the bearing would be hurt and probably cleaned up as well.
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.
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: Press in the middle of the lid when sealing. This removes the air and creates a vacuum. The same as Tupperware.

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.

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.

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!

I was really surprised at how well this worked. Cleaned 7 saw blades in same solution and they came out clean no pitch or resin. When I emptied the solution it was almost black with crud. Not often you find a product that works as well as this cleaner

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

I used this in the same manner as the wood whisperer demonstrated in a video tutorial. Good lord how it completely rejuvenated my router bits! Very Impressed.

Clean Blades In A Snap
This kit is GREAT. I used the pitch remover in a 50/50 mix and let soak for around 5-10 min. Blade looks brand new. The bow in the bottom that keeps the blade off the bottom is quite excessive for me, causing you to use more cleaner than needed but no big deal I filter a reuse. One thing I wish Rockler would do is add a pour spout on the tub to make it easier to pour into a container.
