BTW, I don't know how to post smaller pictures. Each of these was 4 MB and too large in my opinion.
In the BBCode Tab, I saw the formatting for the pictures I loaded. I changed the 100% to a smaller percentage and then clicked preview. My pictures were smaller. Then all I did was hit the tab "create thread." It worked for me. I did this in a subsequent post. I love finding solutions to my own inquires.

u were having slicing good time, Scott
that ham is grade A
I'm not particularly good at identifying
so I'll leave that to others
what size diameter blade ?
I'm assuming 10"
were the rocks viced?
yep the pictures are big enough
takes a while to load
but I'm slomohs
best thing to do, I think
is reduce the size in your photo software
before uploading them
I do 600 x 600
pretty user friendly
anyway keep on
Ed

Having been down that road, I can sense the joy that you experienced as you sliced each one and peaked inside. The Agate Kutter is reportedly comparable to the MK 225 a blade that I have cut thousands of slabs with and its still going strong after more than half a dozen years.

Ummm...it's "Turkey Day" coming up, not HAM DAY!  Congrats on some spectacular looking slabs and the nice new blade! I've got some new blades coming in the mail, but a bit too late. I was noticing my blade on my saw was shot today! Oh well, they'll be here soon enough.  |

I have no guides as this saw is very basic so I have to hand hold all my stones. I can tell the muscles in my shoulders and hands are being strained. It is worth it. I have more to cut, but with colder weather, working in my unheated, low light garage is no fun. I open the garage door and work by the edge for glorious sunlight. I love the sunshine. Thanks for your comments, Ed. |

Glad to hear it's an awesome blade. Want to find something to cut my harder stuff but was leery to spend $ (big saw - big appetite - big bucks). Those rocks look great! scienceteacher79 - Would you call the top rock chert? I have one very similar looking and struggle with what to call it. Also, what is that super cool green one? Some form of jasper? |
