Here you go TheRock: BD-10 ManualI think that should work. Hard to link to a pdf. I have one of These Harbor Freight Polypropylene Utility Cart, based on the advice of somebody else here. It works well - provides a work surface and portability. Just the right size so the saw can go sideways (cross ways) on the forward half of the cart, leaving the back half for the misc junk you want at hand when cutting. |

Thanks Bluesky78987 Yep got 2 Harbor Freights near me 1) A New Store 28 Miles North in Benton Harbor Mich and one 15 Miles away Across the line in South Bend.

No problemo! If it weren't for Harbor Freight and Ikea, I don't know what I'd do.

As for your how messy with oil question, if properly filled you should have a drip at blade guard. If you overfill the excess flies everywhere. If you raise guard too high you get the oily stripe down your front. Usually happens only once or twice. The blade will last longer with oil. You can get a little oil misting around the saw. The saw is aluminum except for blade which rusts quickly and arbor nut is plain steel. When I had my first saw (10" Frantom) I stock piled all water cut rocks until my saw oil (I used the Diamond Pacific stuff which is a food grade mineral oil) got really dirty. Saw didn't hold enough to bother filtering so I disposed and cleaned the saw. Refilled with water and cut the "oil sensitive" rocks. When finished I drained and rinsed saw. After dry I refilled with clean oil. Never did it myself but secret to easy cleaning of saws is to clean more frequently. If you want to use plain water in the BD10 drain after use and dry blade and arbor nut. The WD40 is not a bad idea either as it leaves a little oily film on the steel.

johnjsgems Thanks John for your input on this. Taking all things into consideration. which would you use mineral oil or water based with additive. In your opinion how long of life does the blade have using oil -VS- water? There is also such things as mess and clean up consideration. a 10" blade I purchased from you I think I bought two a couple weeks ago cost $94.00 + shipping. I tend to look at the BIG PICTURE if oil clean uptakes a 1/2hr+ per cutting session + the oil cost and replacement vs saving 30% Blade life I wouldn't think using oil is worth it. What is your honest opinion on that? Thanks ~Duke
