If you have a band saw, you probably know that it is a very powerful tool. However, if you are not careful, this power can also be your downfall. Cleaning the blade of the band saw is one of the most important things you will have to do for its proper operation. The blade needs to be cleaned every time you use it or after each use. To clean the blade, you should use an abrasive cloth like emery cloth or sandpaper. You should also get rid of any oil residue on the blade by wiping it with an oil-free rag or paper towel before using it again. There are times when the debris from the wood can get stuck on the blade and make cutting difficult. You should be able to remove all of these with a little bit of soap and water. However, if it is too much for you to do yourself, then take it to a professional and let them do the job for you.
