Okay, I'm (cautiously) going to add my 2 cents here. Cleaning saws and equipment in general is therapeutic to me. Saws, generators, mowers, vehicles, any type of equipment. Guns as well. I really enjoy the process, and it allows me to decompress from my highly stressful job. I was always taught by my Father and Grandfather to keep my equipment clean, maintained, as it costs too much to replace it. So, I use compressed air, soap and water, Q-tips, picks, brushes, microfiber towels, you name it. Question: does anyone else here use Flitz metal polish to detail saws or equipment? I do. This feels like a therapy session or a confession. So there it is. Have a great week, Max.
Agree 100%. I have a very high stress job as well and I also find saw cleaning therapeutic. Doesn't take any brain engagement, so you can let your mind wander. Lot cheaper than going to the shrink,, too!
