washing saw parts

[Matthew Burton]

I'm having a bit of a play and have got a saw in bits...

 

Anyway I want to clean things up thoroughly before putting everything back together. The two halves of the crank case can go in the dishwasher. What i'm wondering about is the other larger plastic covers etc, will these be okay with the heat in the dishwasher or are they likely to deform?

 

Thanks

30 degree quick wash works ok, if you don't get caught.

Glad your using the dishwasher not the washing machine.

Dishwasher is fine on plastics, they may come out dull but a spray with WD40 and a wipe over has them looking like new. Any aluminium or magnesium parts need to be dried thoroughly after washing or the white rot soon starts to kick in.

Dish washer aye .I don't know what you call kerosine in England but it works pretty well .It's a saw not a fine China plate .
