1. Factors causing rust

Generally speaking, when carbide saw blades are not in use, they should be placed in a ventilated and dry place, and the packaging should not be damaged. It is best to store them on a wooden shelf.

Factors that cause saw blades to rust are usually: the packaging is damaged, the place where they are placed is humid, and it is easy for water mist to come into contact with the carbide saw blades from the damaged entrance, causing oxidation.

It may also be because liquid has penetrated into the packaging of the saw blades where the saw blades are stored, causing oxidation, which leads to rust. Therefore, when we are not using the saw blades, we must pay attention to the placement of the saw blades, and we must keep them ventilated and dry.

2. How to deal with rusty carbide saw blades

If you find that the saw blades are rusty, don't use them as usual at this time. This will easily cause damage to the saw blades, especially the phenomenon of tooth collapse. We must perform rust removal and other operations before we can use them.

a. First check the rusted part. If it is the base part, it is easy to deal with it. Just use our common rust removal method.

b. If the rusted part is on the saw teeth, it will be a bit troublesome. In this case, it must be treated with a diamond grinding wheel, because the saw teeth are the most sensitive part of the saw blade. Once improperly handled, it will seriously affect the use of the carbide saw blade and may cause the saw blade to be scrapped.

The best way to deal with rusted saw blades is actually the usual maintenance and some details. Only prevention is the most effective way to deal with the problem.
