I finally got the chance to get my freshly restored saw set up. It is cutting really well, and having the option of gravity feed is something that I can't believe that I waited so long for. My only complaint is that the coolant tank seems a bit small, by the end of the day, it was pretty goopy.

I envy your gravity feed, even though I have belt driven. Would be so sweet to vary speed per rock hardness.
I agree the tank is small and will require frequent attention. Approximately the same size at my 10" trim saw.

Love the color on that saw!

Really nice cuts. The Gary Green and the stick agate are awesome!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

The shiny paint has been taunting me for months.
