I have purchased a used Ridgid WTS2000L
 

I have just brought a Ridgid WTS2000L 10 inch brick/tile saw.
It has dried on hard tile dust probably a 1/16 thick.

How do you get this stuff off, I have treid soaking in water and pressure washing off, nothing seems to shift it.

Is there anyway to remove this crud without damaging the saw.

Please comment

White vinegar or muriatic acid - that's the stuff they use to wash
mortar residue from brick and block work .Vinegar is safer but takes
longer . That ehow link is pretty much useless for anything but fresh
residue that hasn't cured yet .

Why do you want to get it off? Does it impair saw functionality in any way?

Dilute it and neutralize it quickly. Sulfamic acid crystals are a
milder acid, used in cleaning tile and grout.

Even Vinegar will pit / damage cast iron when exposed to long. Try
the white Cleaning Vinegar ~6% from Wally World.

The one I borrowed from one friend for the use of another friend
last month had so much build-up in the tray it was ridiculous. The
friend who borrowed it didn't feel right about returning a dirty tool,
so he cleaned it out and found the wrenches for changing the blade
burried under all the crud. It went back to the owner looking like
new - - -

It will. Phosphoric acid is relatively safe on aluminum and
aggressive to lime based materials. I've also heard of using a
concentrated suger solution or blackstrap molasses

Neither will dissolve tile or brick dust. Thats why they dont
damage the brick or tiles when cleaning the mortar residue off.

Brick and tile dust doesnt cure.
