After seeing Randys new saw and checking a few other posts I was inspired to give my saw another try. I damaged the blade a while back (out of round) I think I was pushing too hard. heres some of last nights cuts. Its cutting again but very bumpy though I like the cuts A dual colored agate wild black stuff agate I think 2 pics cut at 90 degree some picture jasper and a few of my earlier slabs that I haven't posted Ribbonstone Deadly agate N.T agate Thunderegg Somehow I think they ended up a bit muddled but thanks for looking also If you can Id any better please do. regards ...ppork

Like them all, especially the orange agate stuff and that ribbon stone would make a nice cab. How'd the "deadly agate" get it's name?

I like the "Deadly Agate", both the name and of course the rock itself. The Wild Black Stuff is also nice, very interesting. Glad you're cutting again.

The wild black stuff is cool!! Those all look great, but the black stuff is my favorite.
