I just received this today. I bought it specifically for Linde boules and star garnets. 4” or 5” blades with thin kerf. It’s set up now but I haven’t tried it yet. It should be good for agate slabs too. I installed the 4” blade. It came with one of each size. Same kerf 0.013”. I like the variable speed.

I’ll probably try some Linde boules tomorrow. I tried slabbing one on a tile saw with less than spectacular results.
