SO I'm cleaning and organizing the rock shop (a former bedroom in my basement). While breaking down boxes look what I found!

Yes my Workforce box! I paid $77.96 in 2005! I have cut so much material with this saw. I have used 6 blades (5 completely worn down and one was the victim of a crazy lace agate binding and jumping) I have added a HF 4 inch saw to do some detailed close trimming (I can get incredibly thin blades for it) but for the most part this is WF is my goto! Here is just a small sample of the goodies this has cut:

Man I really gotta get cabbing!

I can't tell if thats some Gneiss Schist, or that Schist is Gneiss. All I know is don't take it for Granite

Got some backsplashes to make.

Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.” —Friedrich Nietzsche

It is messy but so worth it.

I look forward to more of your pictures and results. Happy cabbing.

Glad you found the old WF and a stash of great looking rocks man!

Still have my old Workforce and it's sporting the original blade! Even did a tile job in our kitchen and bathroom with it.

Imagine using one of those things for what they were intended for

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
