Just opened my box of baby Brazilians. Most are 1.5 in. This is a 25 lb box from kingsley north.  |

I was using water on a diamond bladed drag saw and it sort of worked with the softer materials, but when i got some harder materials it would stop cutting real quick, I switched to using diesel and it cuts like a champ. I know a number of high volume cutters that use diesel. some add oil some don't, they don't get in hurry to open the saws tho. A neighbors garage burned down before I got into rocks. One of my friends told me he used diesel in his rock saw and that was why it went up. I personally can't stand the smell of diesel or gear oil. Always keep an extra set of clothes at work and try to refuel in the afternoon so I don't smell it all day. |

I like the amputee warning. I tell people they are crazy dangerous. Could really do some fishing with that big one |

Here is a tutorial brought back to life a few weeks ago. Maybe it will stimulate your brain into remembering Just be careful nothing to be afraid of if you been there before. Hit the solder and tarnished mental with a little sandpaper and all will be well with the metal.

Will have to pull out one of my diamond glass grinders. Where do I get the bit or diamond wheel. What size wire do you use.

A trusted person suggested the silver stuff is silver. Use a knife point and see if it's even metal. Probably silver if it is. |

I sent a message to him. I also googled "Leland blue rough for sale, and there is quite a bit out there. I would think if the seller is not in Michigan it might be suspect.

I have always been able to wheel and deal with them in person. I like to go through their barrels.
