How to Care for Laminate Trimmer Bits

Video Transcript

The bits are a very important part of your machine. You do need to take care of them because when you use them quite often, on the edges and on the shaft of it you will get a buildup of laminate glue which is very undesirable. It will cause your blade to dull very quickly. Also, it will not cut as cleanly as you should. To care for your bit is very simple. You need to take your base off, remove the bit and you will notice, this one is clean already, but you will notice there will be a buildup, big time buildup. What you most likely should use is called a lacquer thinner, which obviously is... You can buy it in any hardware store. You will dip those in the lacquer thinner until the glue will soften up enough for you to clean it up either with a Q-tip, a rag, or any type of cleaning material. You've got to make sure that your edge of your bit is always clean because it will give you much, much higher finish, much higher and cleaner finish. This is what you're aiming for. The same on the subject of ball-bearing. You will clean up most of the gunk from the edges and also from the ball bearings. Because lacquer thinner will also remove any grease or any type of lubricant inside, once you're done, once the bit is dry, you will take a little bit of WD40 or WD30 and you will squirt it inside. Make sure that the bit works or the ball bearing goes. Then, this is taking care of your bits.
