Mine is a Skill brand saw but the machine looks identical to the one in the photo. It came with a blade and to the best of my knowledge that blade is still on the saw. I spent some time this morning experimenting with it and it seems to be doing a great job. I quickly determined that I needed some decent hearing protection when using it and found the spray to be a bit if a challenge with the safety glasses but I think I am going to enjoy using it to cut off some of the flaws on my rough rocks, hopefully speeding up stage one in my tumbler. I did notice that the supplied blade does make a pretty wide cut. I will have to be careful or I will only have tiny pebbles left when I am done. Almost all of the rock I have now is stuff that I found around my local area so it probably isn't a big deal that lots of it gets wasted during cutting. Thanks for all the tips and great info.
