I am not sure how many people have this style of saw but it really is an easy saw to change the oil on. When I am cutting every day I need to clean it every 2-3 weeks so I am glad its not difficult. From start to finish I had all the old oil out and straining and the new oil back in and took all over five minutes. Really all you have to do is scrape all the sludge from the table top into an opening so it falls below then tilt the whole saw top up and scoop the oil out. The saw is a beacon star 14" but diamond pacific still sells it as the TC-14 but at $2750 I doubt many have bought it. Here's a before shot - this was only after 2 weeks of cutting but that's probably over 100 slabs This Michigan beach rock was the cause of the red in the sludge. Table top tilted oil scooped out oil filtering ( had one gallon of clean oil already the next morning ) I did spend an extra 10 minutes to clean the clear lid so I can see whats going on again. Chuck

Anybody else using this kind of saw? just wondering what others opinions are about cleaning them out.
