Has anyone done that? If so, can you share some pictures? I tried to get a saw that only had a single arbor since I figured that would be easier to convert, but the one I ended up with has an adjustable blade depth, so it has an arm on it that has other pulleys. I figured I could just add a splash guard and use a pump to squirt water onto the blade?

You will need to slow the blade rotation down. If you are using straight water your blade should be no larger than 8 inch diameter and be a sintered blade.

The saw would only fit an 8 inch blade max. The motor hooked to the saw currently is 1750. I think it has a 1 to 1 pulley ratio right now, but I figured I would have to change that.

Trick would be keeping the water from going where it's not supposed to.....like on the belt and in the motor. Not sure if it would be worth the trouble but if you have time to kill oh well.
