Cleaning bandsaw blades & rubber tires
I use a 3/4" bandsaw blade on my 20" bandsaw and when cutting wet wood the
blade gets wet a wood/sap builds up on the blade and causes the blade the thump as it is pulled through the guides. I stop the saw and clean off the gunk then I'm good for awhile. Is there anything that I can clean the blades with or spray onto the blade to clean or reduce this buildup? I notice that it is also on the rubber tire so I am guessing that it is probably building up on the rubber wheel then heating up and melting/pressed onto the blade. I would also like to know what is the best method for cleaning the rubber tires without damaging them. I was thinking of using paint thinner but not sure if that would cause damage to the rubber. Hope you can help. As you can tell I am not well versed on bandsaws. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.......Ralph |
