Mr. Phil, Hows your other saw coming. Been waiting to see how it looks and preforms.

I've got all the major parts in the garage, waiting for the blade flanges and then to go buy oil fittings and other small things. Should have one assembled w/o paint, the tubing, etc as a show and tell in a couple days. waiting for it to warm a bit in the garage.....tried the other day, was just too dang cold.
talked with a major lapidary manufacturer, and looks like they might take my design and run with it... Cool, huh?
If you imagine a Lortone on steroids with lots of improvements and modifications we've all longed for, you'll pretty much have an image.
Been a long time coming! Whew! But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Yep. they ended up at $800 each. Still way cheaper than any other 14 or 16 inch saw. The 4 I made sold fast. didn't even get one for myself! Gonna have to make another one for me!
