A little far for me but great to see how others play. I have only been around lapidary five years and that perforated saw blade is new to me. It looks like it would carry a lot of oil to the center of the stone. Are they manufactured there? Jim

Jim Greetings [wampidy] Jim I checked with Bill, it is a 12" perforated blade, both the blade and Machine originally came from the USA decades ago.
