I have been rock hounding since I was about 10 years old. Fell in love with agates and jasper!!! I now have a 10” Lortone slab saw, a 12# tumbler and a dual 3# tumbler. I need a trim saw and a polisher for cabs…..eventually….fixed income …… so these things take time.
Looking forward to learning any handy tricks for this amazing hobby!

Don't be afraid to use the 10 inch to trim. I use my 10" highland park all the time, even though I have a 6" lortone as well.
