Hmmm.  I had just had two cups of strong black coffee.  Too bad, coulda used it to clean all the blades that are in for sharpening and cleaning!

Great info, thanks for posting.

You may still have that coffee available. You just may need to 'recycle it.'  ;D

I think the cobalt leaching concern is way overblown. Carbide is a very stable material. I suspect the SG would have a noticeable effect on the steel body of the blade before it could negatively impact the carbide. I also believe one would need to apply extreme heat to act as a catalyst in any chemical reaction between a relatively benign cleaner like SG and carbide. No one would ever soak a blade long enough to do it any harm. I agree they are 'lawyering-up".

You get Trend stuff in Canada ????

I thought it was only available here in the UK, most of their power tools are crap but I suppose they cannot get cleaner wrong  [big grin] [laughing] [laughing]

Their jigs and router bits used to be great, still have and use a lot of them, but when they took on zeroxed Elu routers and the bean counters got a say in materials, they really lost the plot. [doh]

Rob.

Yeah I have the small trend worktop jig that is good but I had two T5 routers and they were complete rubbish.

The CMT blade cleaner is designed to be left on, no rinsing. It also protects from re-rusting.

I live in the USA and get some Trend tools, jigs  and accessories, even Sears sells Trend. I am very happy with most of it.
