They're comparable to the Home Depot Workforce tile saw that you hear many people on this board talk about. I know one person that uses that QEP and prefers it to the WF. I also know someone that prefers the WF to the QEP. It's really a personal preference I think. They're about the same price. I don't know how good of a diamond stock blade comes on the QEP, so you might (or might not) have to change it out a little quicker than those using the WF stock blade do. Other than that - it should work out just fine!

I tried the stock blade on the QEP, and was not impressed. If you start with $88 and then add abother $30 for a good blade, then the $88 is not so competitive any more. Remember, while well build, it is not the WF that is so great as it is the high-quality stock blade it has. Most tial saws would perform as well with that blade, or one of equal quality.

gary95340: Hello, I read the Jasper Point post, 2009. I am part owner of the KAREN LYNN claim. It’s located in Hunters Valley. It’s a Jasper load claim. To my knowledge it is illegal to collect rocks in the Lake McClure area, owned by MID. Jasper Point is in MID Dec 7, 2024 23:57:23 GMT -5

gary95340: New to this, I haven’t a clue on posting. I have about 1 ton of jasper, various sizes. Dec 8, 2024 0:02:13 GMT -5

gary95340: Jasper point is a geographic location easily located on a topographical map. It obtained its name, because Jasper was mined there at the time of the railroad. I visited the site by boat during the end of the last drought. Dec 8, 2024 0:08:15 GMT -5

amygdule: I like Jasper

Rockoonz: gary95340 post on the forum in the introductions, if you ask the question there we can help you get started posting with either the cloudinary for PC or the tapatalk app for apple/android. Not sure if it's even possible to post pics in the shout-box. Dec 10, 2024 11:17:30 GMT -5
