Thread: I Found It Over There

Here's the best way to lap by hand I know of....slab of marble...and adhesive backed automotive wet/dry....I buy it in 30 yard rolls.

Other was taking too long....making a smaller test run sample...still need to send a few out to modine, rezdog, and a couple others on the dark ones...should have em ready in a week or two...been slacking.

Test run stone.

I don't think I have finished a razor restore since the weather got warm. It's too nice to not be out on the patio lapping hones and cutting rock. Not that I have many finished, but I'm working on it too. My life never has excess time. I wonder how the hooligans and lay-abouts do it. I have never been able to sit still for long and still have tons left to do. Time and wet saw blades never seem big enough. If the 16" saws were not insane to buy they might get a second look from me. I think I may have to borrow my brothers welder and start doing a little tinkering, although there is that time thing again. The color is looking good on those rocks. I am curious as to where the pink comes from, there is shadows of it in some of my rock now and again too. Maybe Bigspendur can offer up some theories.

Saturday after work im running up to Woodcraft in Lexington KY and buying the most coarse dmt plate they have in stock...the is too much like work lol

I really love the colors on the back layer but the layer there is kinda thin sadly....its a medium blue with a chalk white slurry

If someone can draw me something up I can weld and build it, not sure how to go about a larger scale wet saw

Depends on what size of stock you are cutting. We use 20" diamond blades all day on a table saw that will cut through an 8" tall concrete block. It will probably cut a piece that is 20 to 24" long. Look up Concrete Repair, Removal, Sawing, Drilling, Grinding, Surfacing. We've used their saws for quite a while to cut block, brick, and natural stone.

Cutting wet or dry?

Working for a masonry contractor we use a 20" EDCO table saw. They have a great line of saws, and not unusual to find for a good price on Craigslist. A tile saw with a long tray would be a good option.
