You're right - I've watched several videos where they talk about cleaning sawblades and no one has addressed this. The closest was talking about using a brass brush to scrub the teeth - and that didn't actually talk about the gullets. Thank you very much.

I used circular saws, (kept 3 on the job because I ran a crew), and never even thought about cleaning them. Sprayed them with silicone a lot, but my main thing was rough framing. I did my fair share of trim and would look for a cabinet shop to go into for the winter. We always sent our blades out for sharpening, and they would come back looking new. Thanks for this.

Thanks!

That is freaking brilliant. Thank you.

I like using the lid of a 5 gallon bucket to clean my blades. I use a toothbrush to get the buildup in the gullets. I flip the blade over and so I get both edges the same. I’ve never thought about using my vise though. I may try that next time, and see how it goes. Thanks for the video.

So true!
