So, this happened this past week. I am showing off I know 🤪
I’ll be using it to precut rough for tumbling, for cutting small to medium sized slabs too (hopefully selling some to help pay for this!) And some occasional specimen preps no doubt.
Honestly, I don’t feel worthy of such a nicely made beast. My hands don’t work as well as they once did, the stiffness and pains of arthritis often make me struggle to accomplish things that I never used to have to think about. I’ve contemplated how I would “do” such a saw, and I for sure see folks right here using other interesting ways to get some spectacular results. The auto feed, and the USA-made, for me are what kept me looking at this, at the end of every saw thought-session. I’ve thought of a getting a bigger saw too, but I don’t want to fall down the rabbit hole of cutting rocks that weigh more than a few pounds. I don’t think I’d be able to. Plus available space in my cave is an issue as well.
Guess you all know what I’ll be doing in my spare time this coming week!
