Caught myself ruining the blades on our community saws

Honestly I was just wiping them down with a dry rag after each use for months. Last week a member showed me the resin buildup in the gullets and said I was basically grinding the teeth dull every time. Anyone else not realize you gotta use solvent on circular saw blades?

Six months of dry wiping on my saws sounds about right.

Wiping them dry" is actually fine for a quick clean between cuts, just not for resin buildup.

You and @faitha40 are making me feel BAD about my 8 months of neglect with zero dry wiping.
