Oh yeah. If i start getting build up ill wire brush the blade. If it wont come off i use the CMT pith remover then take the wire brush. The thing is after 100 to 150 bdft i just run the wire brush and it keeps me pretty clean. As soon as i notice that the wood is starting to get hard to push through i break out the Dimond card. All you have to do is dress up the face of the carbide. Don’t touch any of the sides for that will change the way the blade cuts.
