how easy is this to clean and change saw blade

Very Very easy. Its just a simple bolt holding the blade. They give you the wrench to remove the screw so you don't your own tools. I have changed the blade with the blade everyone was buying along with this set on Amazon. It did not cut as well. This blade suprisingly lasted for hundreds of marble cuts. I would still use it again. I found to make the cleanest cut, always have a lot of water in the trough. Which is my only negative about this set (the trough is rather shallow and needs refilling)

Cleaning is easy. Unplug the saw and use a water hose. Changing the blade is easy too. Saw comes with blade tool.

Very easy to clean mostly because it's electrical and therefore must be sort of, kind of, almost waterproof so you can basically spray it off with a hose. I didn't have any problem with the blade.

it is very easy to clean up with a hose as long as it has a spray nozzle on it. Just tip it on the side the water bin is and spray thoroughly. As to changing the blade, it looks easy, I haven't had to change it yet. I used it to cut a combination of glass and stone tile. It cut through them like butter and stayed extremely sharp.

Pretty easy. The blade stays clean from the constant water flow. This tool is very messy.

Very easy. I did it after each cutting session. Everything is easy to get to and a hose is all you need.

Very easy. Some parts are dishwasher safe. With the blade attachment, I just rinse it off. I love this stick blender. It's powerful, easy to use, easy to clean. I am using more than I had even intended.

remove the small screws on the back and snap that piece off; you can then clean the blade

Yes, absolutely. It's very easy too. 6 hasps on the cage frame slide open, giving you access to the blades for cleaning.

A basic one on how to assemble and change blades. It's easy to do, it is not complicated at all.

Don- I bought the same slicer and you need to remove the blade to properly clean. Remove the lock nut for the center plate and remove, remove the sharpener, remove the 3 screws that hold the blade and the blade will come out. That make cleaning much easier. My cleaning ti,mes have gone from 30 minutes down to about 10. Use a anti bacterial whip after all the debris has been removed. do a final wipe down with a clean towel and dry when you are complete and re-assemble

Its easy to clean, well I throw it all in the dishwasher, but washing by hand shouldnt be hard. The bottom unscrews and the blade piece has a rubber part that helps the whole thing seal tight.

it works fine for me, but i guess after some uses, you need to change the blade( change to the other side or change the blade).

Really easy actually. I slapped myself once I realized this. Simply push up on the blade (black side up). The assembly comes right off for easy cleaning and oiling like the illusive picture recommends. Hope this helps!

I haven't used mine enough to warrant changing the blade. I really don't have an answer to your question. Sorry.

It is not difficult, as there is a "button" you depress on the top of the tool to detach the item you are using, and replace it by snapping in the attachment you want. The drill and sander work fine for me, but the jig saw was not great.

Please check the specs for the types of blades included with the unit.I have not changed them, but from what I have read, and what I can see, the blades seem very easy to change.

Rikon and sears sell direct replacements. I make my own out of hardboard for each blade I use because I like to have zero clearance. Rough cut it on the bandsaw, double stick tape the original to the new one to use as a template and clean it up on a large disk or stationary belt sander. I leave the double stick tape on the new insert (bottom down) and use it in the saw. If you do this, drill some 3/16" holes to aid dust collection.

I find it very easy, I change blade width and teeth number quite frequently. All you need is enough light to see the bottom attachment.

You have to take the blade off first, carefully. Then by using a screwdriver from the back take out a few screws that are holding pieces that need to be cleaned. Remember what goes where, and how you got it apart. I had to figure it out by trial and error. Probably will be easy if I do it often enough, but I only use mine once in a while. It is a nice slicer. My first attempt was chicken breasts - unfrozen. I made a mess, so I had to learn how to take it apart and clean it!

I have a section of an old band saw blade, and I scrape some powder onto the strop. Then I rub it lightly in over the strop. Without being a name-dropper, the late Herb Dunkle, himself, showed me that technique. I think you'll be pleased with the edges you get. P.S. You can also use an old power jigsaw blade if you don't have access to broken band saw blades.

I never heard of anyone cleaning the blade. As far as I'm concerned, when the blade wears out, you replace it.
