Sorry the images are small. The drop arm on this saw also seems to slide along the pivot shaft freely to pick cut point on rock. I see a vice grip(metric) on the right side of the pivot shaft probably to bring the arm up to vice the rock and set it back to the blade w/out reaching in the cover access. Must have lost the handle. To see larger images of this saw scroll down to near the bottom of this German web site. Amazing images of Idar-Oberstein water powered agate cutting machinery from many years ago where the grinding wheels are like 6 feet around and the operators lay down to grind heinstein.jimdo.com/aktuell/#

Dang George. Rotary vice allows you to pick the flattest saw starting point or best exit point on stone.
Never saw that ....
