at least im not going to try anything bigger..did these a little while ago but forgot to post about them....some geode slices off of the workforce. these 2 are 5 1/2" long by 3 5/8" tall in the middle...had to roll the peices on the blade then trim off the knot left in the center with the blade...and about 3/16" thick. clickable. this 1 is 4 1/4" long x 2 1/2 tall....dont know why it looks thick in the middle its not....1/16 thick with very little taper to the peice...slightly thinner than 1/16 on 1 end...cut on workforce also. clickable yaw dont be scared to try and cut something a little bigger...or thinner than ya think ya can...ya may just surprise yourself ;D...kev.

Don't you just love the surprises you find inside those things, that one is really pretty too. You going to toss it in the tumbler now? I've got new blades for mine too, huskys ... they take a little more on the cut but for the tiny amount, who cares, they are sturdy. Wow Kev, you must be aggressive if you've used up a blade in one weekend. Don't push so hard, they'll last a lot longer and it doesn't really take that much more time to cut. Oh yeah, it's really cool to try rolling rocks to cut bigger ones, be careful though, now and then they take wing ... ouch!
