Sure is a lot easier to use than my Rock Rascal and it cuts a much bigger slab. My new HP 12" slab saw. Some of my first cuts also.

My laptop tried to download them, but then couldn't open them either...

Nice saw! What is that green stone? It's lovely.

"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 second is some cheaper Maw Sit Sit that I have been working with.

Thanks for the pics of a brand new saw. I had not seen the new version and its interesting to see the similarities and differences from the old ones. Have a long and fun relationship with it. I might consider adding a splash guard on top of the blade which would keep a lot of oil off of the cover making it less messy to open up immediately after a cut.

Nice.. I am saving for a 16 or 18 inch version now.

One of the nice bonuses is how they put the crates together with clips. Once you get the machine out you can clip it back together and have a sturdy rockbox that can be moved around with a pallet jack.
