Ran these in the Model B for all the stages except for polish which was run in the UV-18. Total time was about 5 1/2 weeks. I put 158 slabs in to start and 4 broke. The sizes run between 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches. Next time I will limit my slab count to maybe 140 of this size and put in maybe an extra pound of scraps.

That's a serious amount of slabs. From what I can see on my phone they look great.

Probably took about 8 months or so, maybe 5 or 6 a week between other cuts.

I think only losing 4 out of all those would be a big success in my book!

dandresow: Thanks. Haven't done anything with rocks for years. Just fixed an older HP 18 inch and dug out a 10 inch and 18in Lortone and I have a couple of trim saws and need to make something to cab with. We stay broke and I only have enough to put oil in 1 Dec 1, 2024 16:49:20 GMT -5 *
