I just joined the forum, and this is my second post. I’ve done some searching and reading of older posts, but I’m looking for some guidance.
My wife has been getting into rocks and fossils. Last night I purchased a used MK 101 saw through Craigslist, and I’m not sure what I should get for a blade and run for coolant. I’ve ordered a vice for the saw already.
I expect we’ll be cutting a mixture of sedimentary rocks to look at fossils as well as much harder things like jasper and Lake Superior agates.
I’m confused by the info I’ve found on blade speeds, kerf, and coolants. Can anyone suggest a blade that I should be looking at? Also, should I just run water, or do I need to look at any kind of additives, or is oil advisable?
Thanks,
Jay
