So I bought a used Freud SD508 dado stack for $60 yesterday (stealth gloat). It seemed to be in good shape except it had a bit of pitch and gum on the blades. I thought cool, I finally get to use the bit and blade cleaner that came with my Boeshield T9. I placed on of the blades in a small pale and sprayed the blade and let it soak in for a minute or so and then brushed the teeth with an old toothbrush. The front has alot of writing on it. "freud, 8" super dado, etc." see .
I flipped it over and repeated the same thing. After both sprayings the liquid pooled at the bottom. When I turned the blade around again, much of the writing had started to come off ass well.
I've seen a podcast of cleaning blades and the guy poured a whole bottle full of the cleaning liquid and submerged the entire blade. So I didn't expect the results I got. He was using a product from Rockler.
Is it the product I'm using or will this happen with other brands as well?
Should I just be more careful about the stuff getting on the writing? Although don't most blades have some writing on them.
