Let's unbox, set up, and cut some stones (agates & porphyry). I am using, for the first time, a 4” or 5” lapidary trim saw from Hi-Tech Diamond and during this unboxing, setting up, and cutting rocks video, we are going to test it out and I give my honest opinion on what I think of it. Please let me know if you have any saw related questions in the comment section! Thanks for watching!

@michelestrassburg9424 2 года назад

Is there a "twelve step" program for people with our affliction? I first admitted my rock issue over 30 yrs ago and no longer worry there is something really "off" regarding my obsession. I just found you last night and must ask you if anyone has admitted that your site alone elevated rockhounding to an all new level. I know the obsession drives us to put our bodies through some nasty elements and time is of no concern while hunting so I must THANK YOU for sharing your endless knowledge. I am gifted or cursed by living one mile from Lake Michigan on the Wi/Il state line. I admit to screening every bag of gravel purchased over the years. My first memory of warning signs was when I was 8 and visited family in Sheboygan, the mile long trek to the shoreline did not stop me from carrying more than my body weight back. Dad was NOT happy. My husband supports me and has built some amazing display cases for my "gravel gems". Little does he know that WE ARE taking a field trip once it stops snowing. Thank you again!

@mjoyparks 2 года назад

I miss your squeals of delight the first time you look at the inside of an agate. Many people store small geodes after they’ve been cut open in a used egg carton. That may help you store them until you polish them. Rubber bands are another option to keep the halves together. The little saw is amazing. How nice to limit how much beautiful rock is cut away. I loved the demonstration!

@AgateDad 2 года назад

Oh there still there haha I just wanted to show the fun we could have with that saw and buzz through a bunch of beauties! we will be cutting more amazing agates soon :)

@chrisewens3134 2 года назад

I have this saw at home, works great for tight working quarters. The splash guard I mainly use to clear the base of any debris instead of using it to block any spray, hah. The arbor hole in the base is the weak spot for me, water likes to get in there and drip through the bottom with heavy use.

Hiya Again! Thank you again for your great videos! My kids and I went to Duluth this Summer, and your videos are making me want to move to that side of Superior! We loved it up there! I do have a question for you though, how often do you change the blades on your saw? I would think Diamond Blades don't wear down much, but I've been putting my wet tile saw to the test with plenty of rocks, and was curious! Thank you in advance and keep those videos coming! 🥰

@AgateDad 2 года назад

I would recommend moving here, it’s awesome here! I think every few months to 6 months for the new saw blade replacement depending on how many you cut.

I have been going back and forth on which sizes to buy for my first flat lap and trim saw! I feel like I may want to cut slightly larger rocks to make coaster size slabs but also small enough for cabochons. Which saw is your favorite all around?

Please do not add music to any demo, DIY, tour, cooking, or animal video. It hurts the ears and is insanely irritating to viewers. You see this video from creator side, try being a viewer. You have to constantly turn volume on or off or up or down to prevent losing your hearing from that consistent droning noise in background. I would much rather hear the natural high whine of a saw than a low drone of music noise. Never, ever add music to any demo video, please! It absolutely ruins content. Ok, having vented my hatred of music noise, let me say that this is a great video. Beautiful demonstrated, those are some nice stones! I worry about your hand being so close to the spinning blade though. This is one nice machine. This size 5" runs $349 on Amazon. Definitely the best one on the market. Love the compact size and lack of mess. Very nice. I bet I could cut some glass with that too.

@herbfellows6435 Год назад

Does the manual say how thick the blades are? My previous machine came with a .025", and I bought a .012", which is the one I use the most. I cut a lot of dichroic glass, which is pretty expensive stuff, and I like to keep the kerf to minimum. also, what size is the arbor, so I can be sure my current diamond blades will fir it? Thanks!
