Thanks for all of the replies. I am pushing by hand as this saw does not have a mechanical way to feed it. I I understand that oil would be a better lubricant but this is an open saw and it would get everywhere. What's kind of funny is that I watch some guys on Youtube cutting with the same saw, but they have to speed up the video because it takes too long. So, as a couple have said - my problem is probably that I'm going too fast. I'm trying to push it through instead of letting the blade/rock dictate the speed. I'll buy another blade and try to go a lot slower. Maybe put an additive in to the water such as the gel from freezer packs to help the water stick to the blade some and keep it cooler. The gel is not toxic to humans or pets.

Water does not lubricate as well as oil for one.
Also pushing the rocks through too fast can heat up a blade a lot more ruining it.
And you should dress the bade once in a while.

Welcome from Southern Nevada.
Nice up there until winter time. Otherwise, whole Goldfield District area has all sorts of great stuff.

Less than 20% of US electricity production is from coal and it is going down every year. Over 21% is from renewables and it is going up every year. If you add nuclear to renewables because it doesnt produce greenhouse gases, then the figure is about 40%. It is short sighted to argue that a battery which gets 60% of its energy from fossil fuels is worse than an internal combustion engine that gets 100% of its energy from fossil fuels. Especially because the 60% for the battery is continually going down while the 100% for the ICE will never go down. Should we wait until 100% of electricity production is renewable before selling any electric vehicles? hey i live close to hanford that site may never be cleaned up ! you can call nuclear is green thats just nuts the waste from that is awful same as the batterys from the cars when they go bad and the wind mills are a joke cracked blades made of fiberglass put in a pit and covered up really!! The government deliberately released radioactive gasses from the Hanford Nuclear Power Plant for over 50 years to test the effects on the surrounding population before they were exposed and reported in the media.
Adding to your point, there is also a lot of carbon emissions emitted from the manufacturing of the concrete and cement used to make the nuclear plants, the smelting of metals used to make the plant, etc. No energy production form is truly green.

Cool sphere! The first cab looks like a pic from the Hubble! I agree. That is actually my favorite cab. One of my first cabs, so messed up on it a little, but still think it is a really cool looking cab.
