Sands, NICE clean machine!!!
is that an automatic feed? Or do you have to push the rock into the blade to cut slabs?

Oh that is one hot looking thing. The shape, the curves, just the right size, bet she has a great personality too. Never been touched yet. I could look at her all day. Think I'll copy the pictures and place them under my bed. Congratulations! You done scored well.

Hey John, now I see why you were buying all those big hunks of rock awhile back. Looks like a real nice saw. One thing I've always wondered about those saws is, why do they put a window on the side? Can you really see anything with the oil spitting all over the place? Okay, let's see some big slabs now.

Wow looks great Sands I need a bigger house, when I can have a room with lots of rock toys like that. But knowing me probably I'd do myself an injury with something like that ! My husband says I'm the clumsiest person he has ever met  |

I know that is the last time that saw will be that clean.
All I can say is have fun.

thanks everybody --- i got up around 830am after another sleepless night and i was tryin to be nice and not start too early but by 910am i had that sucker cuttin hahaha
ED that window is useless unless you wanna get a flashlight and shine it in the side too ,, once you shut the hood its so dark in there you cant see anything unless you put a light next to it,, it dosent even need to be there you can tell if all is ok buy the sound and if you set the auto off chain it shuts after the cut so its useless hahaha
i put like 6 slabs of gold tiger eye in the oven this morning it will take prob all day but if it works ill post a befor and after later
