This is one of four 36" saws made by Frantom. The company was named after Tom, who was a fabricator and Fran, who was the lapidary. The saw is a monster- you will need the services of a professional mover. Included are two 36" blades, near the end of their life but were still cutting when I purchased the unit. Also included is a new still in the box 36" MK303 segmented blade. Also included is about 1500 pounds of Montana petrified wood to give you something to play with. The motor is a 5hp 26 amp 220v unit, single phase. The saw is clean and ready to use. $4800.
I would post pictures but have never figured out how to do so. Unit is advertised on the Orange County, CA Craigslist.

I thought about setting up a system to pump oil directly to the top of the blade. haven't decided yet.

Wow! That is one serious saw. Can't wait to see the slabs you cut! What a score looks good and some nice material.
