I'm sure he's not the only woodworker out there who does. It's not a method of cleaning that I recommend though - there's too much evidence to show that it could damage your carbide. Your mileage may vary though, and there are certainly lots of woodworkers with all ten fingers and both eyes scrubbing their blades with easy off ;) -hey franch to clean saw blades i use easy off oven cleaner it works just the same as commercial cleaners.

WITHOUT cleaning them! --All my bits are in a case sandwich between two pieces of foam rubber that are soaked in WD-40. They are always sharp, clean and the bearings are always free. The blades I just spray before putting them up. I never have to clean the bits or blades. I start with a piece of scrap, and that gets all the oil off before I start on my good woodworking.
