Title: Cleaning the old saw Post by: Rockoteer on October 14, 2011, 04:09:21 pm I just spent the last two days cleaning my 14" slab saw. I think I let it go a little to long. I didn't have any oil that I felt like I could salvage thru the paper bag method of filtering. Just tossed the whole 9 yards and I will start over with fresh tomorrow. Got to make a trip to town. I would really like to go with a pump and do the "outside the saw" supply and filter system. Let the oil drain into a filter system (we have discussed this on this forum before) and then pump out of the 'filtered' oil back into the saw blade. I need to act on these thoughts.....

I have taken some sludge out of my 12 inch that seemed almost all solid, let it set in a bucket for about 2 months and actually wound up recovering just under 2/3 of it back in good oil. Didn't use the paper bag method because I thought basically the same as you, so I went and bought new. Didn't have a place to dispose of the old stuff right away, so that is why it sat for the 2 mo. Just slowly poured the good stuff off into another bucket.

Two buzzards were sitting on top of a cactus and one said to the other "Wait hell, I'm going out and kill something" I thought I had patience but maybe not.
