I was doing a little Pre-Black Friday shopping when I stumbled across a good deal in Havasu (3.5 Hr Drive). With the Wife's permission  I was road tripping it the next morning.. I can't wait to get some help unloading this beast and start cutting.  Maybe this is one of roy sister saw of one of his, that would be cool.    [img I also managed to pick up a VERY large vib and about 80# of Brazilian agates for a great price.  |

Wow Early Christmas Lucky You. That saw looks so much bigger than an 18 and so clean.

That's a great looking saw. The design of the vise jaw alone makes it stand out.

Thank you all for the nice comments.
Hopefully start cutting tomorrow, still trying to decide to use a recirculation pump for the oil, which it came with or use the bath approach.

That is probably one of the most uniquely designed saws in the field and the perfect one for cutting rounded rocks like thundereggs. Enjoy the ride.

Thank you all for the nice comments. Hopefully start cutting tomorrow, still trying to decide to use a recirculation pump for the oil, which it came with or use the bath approach. If I understand the saw correctly it (the blade) runs backwards from most saws and hence using a bath cooling method might cause excessive (more than normal) amounts of oil to be thrown forward (toward the user). I suspect you would be best off with a well moderated and focused pump feed for the oil. Its all related to the unique vice setup. Let us know. |

I have decided to go with recirculating, the setup looks OEM, not sure if it was an option or not, but it is well installed. My only concern is the odor of a 5 gal bucket of oil, i guess i can always rig up a lid.    |
