Those hot dog blades are worth there weight in gold. I have used about fifteen of them. When there cashed from a tile project they go to the lapidary saw and will work until I completely wear off the diamonds. Thanks for the info

MK225 Hot Dog also marketed by Barranca as the Agate Kutter. It is a tile blade but as said "porcelain blade" so has a different matrix and very high diamond content so cuts hard rock well. You can also use the MK/BD 303C blades which are available in .030" and .050". Standard tile blades have a very hard matrix so cut hard rock slowly and poorly but make excellent grinding wheels. Even in tile blades you can find a difference. MK tile blades cut tiles generally chip free while Home Depot Chinese blades chip like crazy. Peruano, wigglinrocks, John - Sounds like what I need. Wally World has it online for $27.99. Thanks for the advice gents.

Going thru too many blades on the HF tile saw. Any recommendations for a 7" blade that will last? Continuous, segmented or turbo rim? Thanks

I found this source yesterday. They have a bit of everything and then some. I just ordered two 6" wheels, a 4-1/4" x 5/8 pulley and a 4L590 V-belt. The total for the products was $27.75 and $12.08 S&H for a grand total of $39.83.
My saw is almost built. My next project is my Highland Park Cabber w/ 10" trim saw. I'm pretty certain I will be buying bearings from these guys.
It's worth checking out.
Glen Yep, they've got some good deals, I ordered parts from them for a tumbler. Are you building a saw or fixing one up? You know we gotta have pictures...

jakesrocks-Don, I thank you for your service to our country and wish you all best in the days, months & years to come. My father also served in the Navy during Nam so I'm a Navy brat. We also share something else, my best bud for years was a Jack Russel named Rocko who lived 19 years. Lost him in 2015. Take care & keep on rocking, Mike

I have the answer because I have the same saw. Cut'm and rotate them and if still not thru then put a chisel in the slot a Wack the chisel. Show them there inerds. That's an idea Spice, just hate to butcher 'em up. I'll have to ponder it...
