Router Bit Maintenance
_x000D_Fortunately, this is pretty easy. The best way to prolong the life of a router _x000D_ bit is to keep it clean. And what you need to do varies with the type of bit._x000D_
_x000D_Note: Sharpening is extremely important too.
_x000D_Bits with Bearings:
_x000D_To clean bits with bearings, first, remove the bearing. Then clean the bit as _x000D_ you did with non-bearing bits.
_x000D_It's important to remove the bearings because even though router bearings are _x000D_ 'sealed,' resin remover can sneak in and dissolve the bearing grease. If this were _x000D_ to happen, you would be faced with the problem of trying to lubricate a sealed bearing._x000D_
_x000D_Despite the claims of bearing grease sellers, we've never had much luck with _x000D_ this. Once that grease is gone, just go buy a new bearing.
_x000D_Bit Shanks:
_x000D_Periodically inspect the shanks of your router bits for rust or burrs. Either _x000D_ of these can be removed quickly with ScotchBrite®. Left on, they can _x000D_ interfere with your ability to properly tighten the bit in the collet.
