Resin removal

[Hemsby]

Hopefully a simple question, removing resin from blades, router bits etc (hammer)

Buy a proprietary cleaner, if so which one? or a home concoction, such as?

Thanks

Mr Muscle window and glass cleaner and a brass bristled brush, cheap and effective.

Great, have both of those. Bonus being if I use all the Mr Muscle, excellent reason for not cleaning the windows =D>

Thanks for the tip

I use ordinary washing up powder / tablets, and a brass wire brush. Works a treat

Thinners and a toothbrush works well.

Oven cleaner works for me.

 

[Steve Maskery]

All above are good.
Sort of.
But.

I have used oven cleaner, stainless-steel cleaner, in the past. Pretty much anything you might find underneath the kitchen sink. And I've demonstrated it on my DVDs.

But I have to admit that I have read that these things are not kind to tungsten carbide, and in particular the bond between the WC teeth and the plate blade itself. Ive never had a problem myself, and I don't often have to do this ritual, I'm just sayin'.

I have just tried the blade cleaner from Axminster, bit expensive but worked really well and smelled really nice

For cleaning router cutters etc. I simply use an old toothbrush dipped in meths - fast, effective and inexpensive - cheers, W2S

Diesel is one of the old methods for getting it off, small stuff goes in a glass jar over night and wipes clean in the morning, circular saw blades etc go in an an oven tin covered in it over night (only use glass or metal containers), removes most things I've found.

Anyone tried Hydrochloric acid?

If it's resin then Meths is your answer.

Yes, but I didn't like the after taste.
