Nice. The question is, do you have a flat lap that can polish those nice Brazillian slabs?

I have no idea yet what I am making. I have a flat lap but it needs to be reworked. Its an old craftsman 10" combo flat lap/saw. I have been keeping my eye out for a vibrating flat lap, but someone else always wants it worse than I do.

Boy that saw must be working pretty darn good as Brazilians are pretty darn hard to cut. Got you some fine slabs there......mel

Well the water-level agate is by far my fav. A busy saw is a happy saw. Kudos.

Those brazilians are so awesome. I was trying to cut some on my little tile saw a few weeks ago..........thought something happened to the blade then realized.......they are stubborn! Gorgeous slabs, you'll have fun with them no matter what you do!
