A cutting blade is an investment—and like any tool, it requires care. Proper maintenance can significantly extend your blade’s life while improving cutting quality. Here’s everything you need to know about blade maintenance.
1. Clean After Every Use
Dust, resin, and debris reduce blade sharpness. Wipe down blades with a cleaning solution after use.
2. Store Blades Correctly
Avoid moisture and contact with other blades. Use blade protectors or hang them individually.
3. Sharpen Regularly
A professional sharpening service keeps blades at peak performance. Don’t wait until they’re completely dull.
4. Use the Right Blade for the Job
Cutting metal with a wood blade shortens lifespan drastically. Always match blade to material.
5. Monitor Performance
If you notice burning, rough cuts, or vibration, it’s time for cleaning or sharpening.
