Just purchased a 20" Beacon Star slab saw. No pictures yet, will get it tomorrow. Here are pictures of the other rock stuff we got. Donna just happened to see the ad in the local paper today. Frantom 2 wheel diamond with polish pad on the right and an 8" trim saw on the left. Frantom 2 wheel diamond with sand disc on the left and 2 1/2" expando on the right. Boxes of rocks. First box on right has a Raytech TV-5 tumbler and the third box has a Covington 12" vibrating flat lap. Second green bin is slabs and has about 5 Lbs. of GOOD Alaskan jade. Boxes of rocks. About 200+ lbs. of pet. wood.(The good kind) Still have to pick up the saw and a box of rocks and a 4 drawer chest with lots of diamond belts and accessories in it. Outside of saw In use.

Thanks, I feel that I got a super good deal. Found 4 Glaxie wheels in boxes, new. Still 'discovering' things in the different boxes. Saw is extremely quiet. About 1/2 of the blade left. Ken P.S. Now I can put Donna to work(don't nobody tell her.) Hee hee

Holy moly Ken! That's a smoking deal! The saw's gotta be worth more than that by itself!

It was snowing last evening and Ken was out in the garage. ;D I can't believe that saw always wanted one but I was going to have to win the lottery first. One of those deals you dream of. I wonder what that guy is going to do with all the room in his garage now. Bad news Ken can longer get his car in, I always thought the garage is for rocks anyway. He has sliced some wonderful colorful pet. wood plus, I will have to guard my specimens. Donna

Congratz to both of You! That looks like an awesome deal...one of those finds where there tends to be some very cool suprises hidden deep within the contianers of rocks and in little tin cans. Have fun with all the new goodies!! Steve

That is an excellent deal. The way the box opens on those saws seems like it would be so much easier to scrape the muck out, and the carriage construction looks real tight as well. It should be an excellent saw. I look forward to seeing all the cool things you make with these.

Looks like you got the whole shebang less the garage it was in! It will take awhile to get through all the boxes, but what fun, and good equipment to boot. Woody
