Cutting up some big picasso marble slabs. I have cut a lot of picasso marble and this is by far the best I have ever had my hands on. Rock on! Jason

BEAUTIFUL -- a WOZER for sure, looks like new rock ? Does it cut good in water, I'm going to dump my oil and try to cut with water when it gets warmer, It was -4 this morning, Picasso is very dirty and the clay just muddy up the oil fast.

It's a fine material. That is the finest.

You make a trip up to the quarry or get that in Q? Either way, nice specimen!

She was talking to our hounding partner, Rick, the other day about the problem. His solution? Why "either oil or water? Cut agate with oil. Drain the saw, cut Picasso with water. Drain the water and rinse it out and WD-40 it every night. Through with Picasso, pour your oil back in again." I've wasted a whole year because I couldn't think that little thought! And I don't need another saw that I can't afford, and don't have room for anyway!

yes Don, just wedge in an "extended clean-out" for cutting sandstone or Picasso.

This saw is wet and for all my soft stones.That larger slab is over 12" tall. I got some picasso from a old stone carver that was getting out of carving. He had this supply for over 20 years. I will cherish this stuff until it is all gone for sure. Rock on! Jason
