I'm in my bathrobe right now so excuse me if I don't go downstairs to
read the label, but the "green stuff" has been mentioned many times in
other threads as a successful cleaner upper of tablesaw blades. I have
never seen rust and the bits are well known brands. Good questions,
though, and I appreciate your interest.

No problem.

I think my problems stemmed from over tightening, when I was less
familiar with the routers, and leaving bits inside them. Actually, the
Makita router collet is okay, the Bosch very annoying but not really
bad, the two Fein absolutely worthless.

Leaving the bits in the router does seem to do that, doesn't it.
That's why I was wondering about rust (or perhaps oxidation is a
better term here- it doesn't have to look like rust to bind up a screw
thread)

Anyhow, good luck!
