It protects against rust and corrosion, requires no rinsing, and is compatible with spray, ultrasonic, and dip tank applications. Endorsed with a 5-star rating by Wood Magazine, it ensures longer-lasting, sharper cutting edges for professional-grade performance. ## Description Safe, effective and environmentally friendly! Professional saw shops know that clean cutting edges run cooler, cut better and last longer. That's why we had several quality blade sharpening services test our Formula 2050. The results? In a word, "Phenomenal!" Most blade and bit cleaning products work with a dissolving action, using some powerful and nasty chemicals to dissolve wood residues and adhesives. Our safe and nontoxic Formula 2050 penetrates the microscopic cracks in the resin and attacks the bond between it and the carbide or steel surfaces. The resin releases its grip and you simply wipe it off. Formula 2050 keeps your tooling clean and helps you increase the time between sharpenings and replacement, and your satisfaction is guaranteed! This product received a five-star performance rating from Wood Magazine. ## Features - Removes pitch, resin and adhesive residue from any woodworking cutting tools (saw blades and bits). - Completely non-toxic, non-flammable, certified biodegradable, safe and earth-friendly. - Do not rinse after cleaning.

On my Forrest blade I had dried dish detergent, and when that didn’t work very well, I tried oven cleaner, and sealed the blade in a plastic box and put it in the sun for a few hours. It still took a lot of scrubbing with a tooth brush to get the teeth clean.The blade in the photos came with my used saw, and was in serious need of a cleaning, but I was avoiding it. It would have taken forever to scrub each tooth on this blade the way I had on my general purpose blade. After leaving this high-tooth-count plywood blade in this cleaner for an hour, all the gunk rinsed right off with hose spray—no scrubbing required. .I got this blade cleaner after watching a YouTube on restoring rolls of drum-sander sandpaper that had burned in stripes on them by putting the roll in a mason jar and soaking it in blade cleaner overnight. That had mixed results. It worked well on some brands, but others, while clean, kinked and curled into a mess when drying. I had both ends of the sandpaper held down with pieces of railroad track that I use when I need to hold things down—so it wasn’t just that I let it dry without trying to keep it flat. The roll that didn’t curl up looks almost new, although I haven’t tried it yet. For the sandpaper, I’m not sure the trouble was worth it- but that’s not what is made for. For saw blades with burned-on gunk on the teeth, it’s a big thumbs-up. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works miracles! *by B***S on September 11, 2025* This is the second time purchasing this product to clean 10" Table Saw blades at our company. The first bottle lasted over 2 year and that is taking into account that we cut lumber quite regularly and reuse the blades after cleaning them. Most blades last about 3 - 4 times after they are cleaned. This saves us both time and money and keeps our business running smoothly. Usually I soak the blades for about 20 minutes in the solution then clean it after gently with a small steel brush, the "gum" and hardened sawdust comes right off. There are times when I have to leave it for about 20 minutes more soaking in the solution but thats rare. This product is a life saver. Before this I used to spray WD-40 on the blades and then clean them manually using a wood chisel, which would take ages. I'm glad I found this. Thumbs up to the company! :) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very effective *by A***E on September 25, 2025* Works very well to clean hedge trimmer residue from blade after use. ## Frequently Bought Together - CMT 998.001.03 Formula 2050 Blade and Bit Cleaner, 1-Gallon Plastic Jug - Sili Saw Blade Collapsible Cleaning Tray Made from Silicone to Hold Solution and for use with Saw Blades Up to 12 Inches in Diameter - Trend Tool & Bit Cleaner: Industrial Strength Wood & Resin Remover, 18 fl oz, CLEAN/500 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/2003127-cmt-998-001-03-formula-2050-blade-and-bit-cleaner](https://www.desertcart.it/products/2003127-cmt-998-001-03-formula-2050-blade-and-bit-cleaner) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
