Abstract
An apparatus (100), including: a base (102) configured to retain a liquid therein; an abrasive mat (200) configured to rest on a bottom of the base and to support a saw blade in a horizontal orientation; and a blade slot (612) configured to hold the saw blade in a vertical orientation.
Claims24
A method, comprising:
- cleaning a saw blade using an apparatus comprising a base comprising a bottom and a sidewall that collectively form a watertight basin configured to retain a pool of liquid therein;
- a centering post sized to protrude up from the bottom through a center of a saw blade;
- and an abrasive mat configured to rest the bottom of the base and to support the saw blade in a horizontal orientation;
- wherein the bottom comprises a lower central portion disposed radially closer to the centering post and-an elevated perimeter portion disposed between the lower central portion and the sidewall;
- and wherein when the abrasive mat is disposed on the bottom and the saw blade is disposed on the abrasive mat, the abrasive mat is configured to support a perimeter of the saw blade while leaving a body of the saw blade unsupported, resting the saw blade flat on the abrasive mat, and rotating the saw blade to translate teeth of the saw blade across the abrasive mat by using a handle secured to a face of a radially extending side of the saw blade to manipulate the saw blade, wherein the handle comprises a magnet or a suction cup that secures the handle to the saw blade.
