cut my first slab and made a blade
« on: October 21, 2010, 04:11:19 pm »
this is some solid c.p. from my last large nod. i cut 2 slabs and heatd them at 500 and will cut the rest later.  i think the blade came out ok.  unfortunetly my second slab did'nt make it to well.  shouald of stoped after the first one.

I wish I could find me some of that coastal plains.  How hard is it to work once heat treated?

i love it and it all works differently. some is a high grade and some is concrete.  this is a med grade but works good after heating.

 I'm just using a ten inch Brick saw. Jeff, (jcnpc) said they will cut a lot better if you slow the speed down. I haven't had the time to change the pulley's but it is on my to do list.
