I have been sorting out getting a trim saw for a while. I overthink most of this stuff, unfortunately.
I'm more of a tumbler. I create sort of cabs that could be used in a pendant with a more organic look, which i prefer. Frankly, the regimented look of traditional cabs leave me cold. I pick up most of my rocks at local beaches here in CA.
My main use of a saw would be to trim jagged pieces of rocks that work themselves to the beach via creeks. Very jagged stuff, mostly jasper-like. I also find smaller pieces, less than tennis ball size of rhyolite type of stuff which is fairly round and smooth. Those rounder pieces I would like to essentially slab.
Wondering if the 6" Hi-Tech plastic trim saw would work for my needs, especially to trim jagged rocks prior to tumbling.
Thank you all.
