Tru-Blu Saw Blade Oil – Mineral (F1)

During use, saw blades become contaminated with pitch, sap resins and other wood-based materials that cling to the teeth and surrounding areas of the blade body. This effectively coats the body and cutting edges, making the blade act as though it is dull. Friction and heat increase, cutting is more difficult and the cut edges of the timber are not as clean. Resins also insulate the blade, preventing the normal dissipation of heat, increasing heat build-up even more. Excessive heat not only accelerates the dulling process, it could cause the blade to warp or otherwise distort during use, increasing the chances of binding or kickback.

Though it may seem counter intuitive, dull blades are more dangerous than sharp blades. And blades that cut at maximum efficiency place less strain on your saw motor.

A dirty blade sometimes needs more push-through force, slower feed rates, can cause the timber to skew sideways and it could even generate smoke. There have been many good blades discarded when a simple cleaning could have reclaimed much of its useable life. Rollers and guides have similar problems.
