I just got a new HI-Tech 6" trim saw.
I will use my saw to trim sharp edges from rough rocks prior to tumbling, and to create thicker slabs from rocks less than 2" tall to see what's inside :-)
I do not do cabbing at this time, as I do not have a cabbing setup. I have recently joined a club that does so cabbing is probably in my future.
For now, I am just a tumbler, although I enjoy making some of my smaller, thinner rocks, into pendants. Actually, I enjoy the organic look more than regimented cabs.
My saw came with a thin notched diamond .012 core .015 kerf and a sintered .015 core .023 kerf.
In my mind, a thicker blade will allow me to cut faster. I am going to tumble anyway so not concerned with saw marks etc.
What type of blade do you all recommend for my intended use.
I figure it won't be long before I long for an 8-10" saw but for now, 6" it is.
Thank you all.
