I do not care to clean out my saw if the particles settle to a dense paste and the oil is clean after that settlement. Well, very infrequent. I run with a 1.5 inch angle iron in the bottom. It splits the reservoir in two and is parallel to the blade. That way i scoop the blade side muck into the (the right) not blade side. But the vibration settled the oil some. The reason i know is that there were cracks in the settled layer below the oil. Cracks where areas settled and compacted some. Making the top layer cave in. This is how . The 8 inch grinder vibrates a lot on that tall pedestal. So i clamped a temporary vibration transmission bracket (TVTB) from the grinder to the not running saw. The next step is to put a small virbrator right in the oil.Or attach to the bottom.Like a small concrete vibrator...

Neat ideas, but I want this to happen OUTSIDE my saw. Drain the oil into a 5 gal bucket, fill to the top with water, vibrate, pour reclaimed oil off and back into the saw. Dump the water and rock chips out back and I'm good to go.

yes. the idea is perfect. the vibration works with the right vibrator. and the dust can be very compressed

Hey I have a concrete stinger for wall forms, I may try that in a bucket of goop and see what happens. As soon as I get time I will give it a shot and let you know what happens.

I have one too Tony. It may be too violent. There is a low powered one that fits on a drill motor. It may have to vibrate up and down to settle to the bottom.... I know the stinger i got will break your bones.LOL.What a beast.
