*LOL* Not so fun to saw, really hard material. Make sure and sharpen your blade real well to expose the maximum amount of diamond and run real wet with oil. Stuff really makes my ten inch saw labor when cutting stuff as large as the vice will hold. My ranch friends say they have a whole tub full of stuff from their ranch for me to look at but they're still involved in the incident where their pet was shot so I haven't been waiting to bug them about agate till they are ready...Mel

Looks like its about like Montana Agate,I let the blade take its time...It has cut agatized petwood,took a bit,but did a great job... Thanks for the heads up Mel....

No sweat. I sharpen my blade after every Rio I cut. Overheats my stupid power feed after every two slices too. So, I cut two slices, take a one hour break, cut a couple more etc till I'm done and then take a couple of cuts on a grinding wheel to expose more diamond....Mel
