Contempo owned HP products before selling to Diamond Pacific so it would be an HP saw. MK bought HP when HP went under and sold to Contempo Lapidary. I've had two HP tumblers with the Contempo Lapidary label. I have a 24" HP if you want to pick it up for $1995 with a 20" blade I'm using and a new (like still in the box) 24" 303S blade as well. Or $1500 without the new blade.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
