I found out about my Christmas gift from my husband a couple of weeks ago when it was left at our front door and I could see what it was ;D After several unsuccessful bids for some used ones where the prices got almost as high as a new one, my husband ordered a new one for me. I was checking with Tony (Catmandewe) about getting a 10 inch saw from him because I never thought my husband would get a new one for me. Here it is! Now, if I can just figure out the auto feed and everything, I will start cutting stuff up! This sure beats my tile saw by a mile! Fran

Fran,that saw is too purty to use. Just look at it a few weeks before you use it. Yeah,right.First cut should be a good red jasper with a lot of hematite in it to break it in right. ;D ;D

Wow that's a beauty. Seems almost a shame to dirty it up but go ahead and cut some goodies. We can't wait to see pics of the slabs......Mel

Fran, that saw is just too clean. Hurry up and get that thing dirty. That new Covington sure looks different from my old 1970's 10". Have fun with that baby, and post pick of your slabs. Don
