what is a good way to keep the mist down on your slab saw. I have a plexiglass hood that allows the mist to escape from the bottom. I do wear a resporater but like to get it under control. ( we need spell check on this site)

Hey Brett. Do you have an old box fan or vacuum motor? Maybe you could rig up sort of a dust/mist collector using 1" or 2" foam and cover it with polyester material as a filter. Just a thought. And I guess I'd better think about that in my design. I'm gonna start building it soon. Thanks again for the pics, they helped alot.
later, Ed

how about a boat bilge blower motor when i had a larger boat ti had a blower motor in it to suck out all the gas fumes out of the bilge befor starting so it didnt blow up hahaha but there cheap and have an opening from 3 to 4 inch wide that could be cut into the side of saw and mounted and im sure fitted with a small filter box to catch mist maybe even on the inside of the saw so it dosent hafta travel through the blower there cheap enuff when on sale only prob i can see is there 12 volt but a smaill converter or battery charger would be enuff to run one since there not gonna run 24/7 only when cutting ok seeya---john

a dressing stick for your blade? I read that using a plain ole' red brick does a great job of getting a blade sharp again. Is that what you are going to do?

this was explained to me over the phone when i purchased my blade but i couldn't possibly explain it to another person so here's what i found that will basically explain what i was told about the dressing stick and the reasons for it. my blade is actually flat on the edges and not "sharp". i have a mk lapidary blade. www.ukam.com/dressing_sticks.htmi wouldn't think slicing into a brick would expose the diamonds but instead further the glazing over process. kim
