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 Ray |

I would have thought Muric acid would eat up the alumium castings 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. |

I would have thought Muric acid would eat up the alumium castings 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. Vinegar is safer but takes longer . That ehow link is pretty much useless for anything but fresh residue that hasn't cured yet . Brick and tile dust doesnt cure. |
