CMT blade and bit cleaner

Here's the company link.  I haven't used it beyond blades and router bits, although I see they note keeping table saw tops rust free.  I would be interested if anyone had used it for that application.

I can vouch for Bosheild T9, and good old paste wax. 

GeorgeWest - to this point I've just used paste wax on my table saw.  Just applied today as I was doing some cleanup.

dont know what i will use when johnsons is gone hopefully im not far behind it 

I’ve heard good things about the CMT cleaner. I’ve always just used 409. Anyone able to compare them?

Barb thanks for posting.

I have something similar - I have to try it on my TS.  I also have a file that has resin stuck in it.

Petey - if you use on your TS please post how it works for you.  

Two things that have always worked for me for even the worst gunked up blades:
Dawn dish detergent (blue liquid) and liquid laundry detergent.

Guessing there are a lot of workable options.  I do like this aspect listed for the CMT product:  " Do not rinse after cleaning. Formula 2050 provides protection from rust and corrosion."  I'm not in my shop constantly so having some added protection seems good.

If I recall, CMT is also sold at Menards??  I use the citrus degreaser to clean blades and bits as well if I'm out of CMT.  I never noticed the "do not rinse" part of the instructions.  Of course, that's probably because I didn't read them.  

Boeshield Rust Free and Blade and bit are decent as well, but more expensive.  I like Boeshield Rust and Corrosion for anything that squeaks.

Bostik Glidecote is really good for cast iron surfaces.  It seems to hold up better than paste wax.

I have a cleaner from Freud - looks the same?  It works great too
