Oven cleaner / Caustic soda . Same thing . Edit , On a lot of them , not the non caustic ones of course .
Its the Sodium Hydroxide / Caustic soda in the oven cleaner that eats the gunk .
Another thing . Ive never notice caustic eating bronze or brass to any destructive levels . It would be interesting to know how bad it can be .
I have seen Amonia completly destroy brass very quickly . I wouldnt be soaking brazed teeth in anything with Amonia in it .

I just keep my blades in a kero bath. Beats rust and a quick wipe with a rag and they are good to go.

I must be missing the point here, if hot water and a brush will do the job why use chemicals? I readily admit I haven't tried it so I have no first hand knowledge of whether it works or not. A high pressure cleaner might be another way to do it, again just another idea I have never seen tried.

Isn't there a possibility that hot water would warp the saw plate and possibly affect the bond of the teeth because of the different expansion and contraction characteristics of the Carbide, steel and brazing? You can't be too careful about these things you know Chris.

Dave, he did it straight out of a tap and even boiling water would not be too hot. I can assure you braze requires a temperature far higher (read glowing red) to melt. By then the blade would be bent and the braze bond would be the least of your worries. I have actually worked with Luis and he was a contributor here for a while and there is no way he would put it up if there was any problem. To be up front I have never cleaned a blade so I don't know what works and what doesn't.

It was a joke Chris! Like you I'm inclined to the view that we can over think these things.
