Default Cleaning burs

I have read about using oven cleaner and burning for Kutzall/Typhoon burs and oven cleaner for metal burs but how do you clean diamond and ruby type burs? As you can tell I'm a newbie at this power stuff.

I use a rubber sanding belt cleaner. You can get them at most
hardware stores.

Default Re: Cleaning burs

power carving annual offered the following for cleaning burrs
1 tungsten carbide burrs are brushed clean with a brass bristel brush if a steel bit is severly clogged use a propane torch to burn resin when resin is charred brush out crevices
2 to clean ceramic bits lightly touch the bit to a fine diamond honewhile bit is rotating.this method removes resin and a thin layer of the stone itself.
3 soak ruby and diamond bits in oven cleaner for several minutes.then wash in clean water and scrub with a brass bristel brush.
