If you\u2019ve noticed your saw blade is dirty and not cutting as smoothly as it used to be, then it\u2019s a good idea to give it a good cleaning. More often than not, a poorly performing blade is simply gunked up with pitch \u2013 which can be solved by giving it a thorough cleaning.<\/p>\n

The more you use your blade over time, the more pitch and resin will build up around the teeth and edges. This will cause the blade to overheat, making it less efficient and causing burning and increasing the odds of kickback<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once you start to notice this happening to your saw blade, it\u2019s time to give it a good clean. Cleaning it will remove all of the pitch coating the blade, restoring it back to its factory cutting performance.<\/p>\n
