Thread: Ultra sonic cleaner

I've never used mine for rust, but it works great for safety razors and cleaning the insides of scales just using warm tap water and dawn dish soap

+1^ . I use mine primarily on old DE and scales with dishwashing liquid. Never tried it for rust tho . . .

They were originally used for cleaning jewelry and watch repairers used them for watch overhauls and then they were used for cleaning precision parts and then they made them bigger and are used for all sorts of things. We had one at work for gun cleaning and those can be very expensive but they do a great job.

For razors make sure the scales don't go in unless they are really tough stuff. No celluloid or ivory.

I do not have an ultrasonic cleaner but I have used my vibratory cleaner to clean blades for restoration. It service double duty to clean brass for reloading.

It is an Ultra Sonic CLEANER not a grinder or a sander. You would have clean pits.

I regularly clean all manner of scales in my ultrasonic cleaner. Nothing's been harmed yet!

Well... Decades of shaving grime have been harmed, but the scales themselves are fine. Even ornately shaped ivory.
