Thread: I Found It Over There

Going to try the masonry blade today...this'll be dusty. I picked up a another few rocks yesterday.

lap lap lap lap lap I gotta cut some SMALLER and get a DMT double coarse. Going to try some limestone for "pre" lapping today too. Picked up some of that too whilst i was down in the flatlands.

I was thinking, and I know that is always dangerous. Back in the way back when era they wouldn't have had diamond blades or abrasive blades. Do you suppose it was all done with a saw similar to a hacksaw in blade design. My Escher has really little teeth marks on it the remind me of a hacksaw. When I am back home from work I thick I will try it out.

I saw some quarry process on a show once (okay twice) where they were cutting large slabs (forgot) with diamond powder on a cable. Probably took whole days to make some cuts.

Which was bigger, tougher version of the carbide encrusted cable I now have in a hacksaw frame. It's good for little cuts--MUST keep water flowing as it loads up in about 10 strokes. Advantages: non-dusty, not loud.

The mines where they cut the big slabs for countertops and the like are pretty cool. I also like the new Stihl Rock Boss saw. Not an entirely new design but the first within reach of individuals and small companies. All in due time I suppose.
