Sorry for my bad English. I use Google translate. I have questions. Can I cutting agate and jasper stones with Mansory saw? I'm thinking of buying a mansory saw with a 350 mm disc. I am worried about the speed of the machine. They are about 2800 at idle. I will put a diamond disk mk301 350mm. Will I be able to cut stones with this machine?  |

Welcome! I understood your English. I can't answer your question. Someone will.  |

Welcome to RTH
It can be done but not optimally
your right about the machine's rpm/s
spin to fast for a good lapidary blade
But I really knohs nothing
so I leave this to the experts

Some blades are rated for faster rpm (revolutions per minute) than others. A masonry saw runs at high rpms and thus is best used with a blade rated for such saws but appropriate for stone / harder tiles. As suggested the agate eater is a best choice for your saw but if it is not available to you, you can research blade suitability by considering the speed of the blade based on its size, not just on rpms. Read the mk diamond blade site carefully. I have a porcelain blade MK 225 that has performed well cutting rocks. A sturdy blade made for higher rpms may be best rather than the 301 depending on availability and your cutting needs. What languages do you speak and where are you located? We may have more specific source of information.

Welcome to the forum! These "drop" machines where the blade is pulled thru the cut are not as stable as a fixed position blade where an odd shaped rock can be slowly pushed thru the blade by hand or by automatic feed. If this is all you have access to I'm sure you can find a way to make it work but don't push it to it's limit - stick with smaller rocks and devise a way to really hold them firmly in place before cutting.

We may have more specific source of information. Thanks for information. I'm from Bulgaria. Or more precisely in the region of the Eastern Rhodopes. Here in Bulgaria are not produced and sold special machines for cutting minerals. The only way to get such machines is to buy them from Usa, but with my modest budget of $ 3,000, this is hardly possible, because I also want to buy a grinding and polishing machine. Most of my stones are 10-15 cm in size. I want to cut them into slices and polish them on both sides. |

I hope you are successful in obtaining the lapidary equipment you need. Careful reading of product specifications and careful use of equipment should allow you to cut the stones that you are describing. Good luck and welcome to the forum.
