I pulled out the 10" and set it up outside today. I managed to get a few end cuts hand fed slabbed up and a small Nevada opal. My hands almost turned purple but I had a great time cutting rocks! Next rocks will be some lavic and obsidian!!! Graveyard Point Plume: Mexican Purple Opal: Nevada Red Opal. The slabs are tiny but the colors are as vibrant as Mookaite!

Those are some nice looking slabs. How large a rock can you slab with a 10" saw? Stu

By golly you did. I had a kid over yesterday to see my shop and get some rocks and I saw the slab laying on my counter and thought, "Man that's a pretty slab! " *L*.....Mel
