I Made this short movie for another post I have been giving the BD 10" saw quite the workout this past month My Wife MaryJane has cleaned a bunch of the slabs and put them away. Much of the Agates I have cut came from Idaho. I have found they are really hard on the oil, by that I mean the cutting causes alot of sludge so oil changes are a bit more frequent. Anyways here is the Vid. (thumbs-up)

Super vid TheRock!
I like the way your Shop has fleshed out. Not only did the video show the saw in action, but I got to see what you did in the wire wrap corner with the wire spool dispensers for your wife (she must be in seventh heaven!)... Even the split-ring station. Beautiful layout of rotary and vib tumblers... very orderly and all so very clean!

Thank you for posting this.

	“You preachers of equality, the tyrannomania of impotence clamors thus out of you for equality: your most secret ambitions to be tyrants thus shroud themselves in words of virtue. Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.” —Friedrich Nietzsche

Well My Present BD 10" Saw Holds About 1.75 to 2.0 Gal Full or course you would never run it that full I run at .70 and I get a lot of lubrication at that depth. If I was to add that Everclean System I could Increase tank size to 4.39 Gal /.70 = 6.18 Gal more in size plus my oil would get clean. With a system like that I could run three saws into the same tank if it was a larger tank. ~Duke
