    Since I’ve been collecting crystals my 10 year old son loves to learn about them. He will bring home different looking rocks everyday and ask me if they are crystals and if we can break them open to see. I think getting a saw like this will make him happy and help him learn more about the rocks he finds 😍 maybe he will want to be a geologist when he grows up 🥰

    I find it interesting that when you open up a cut agate and do the reveal, sometimes you flip them over because they look "upside down". It's weird because there's no top or bottom, but i almost always agree with the way you flip it to be oriented. Just an observation lol

      That's my thought too. Why did he flip it? It looks right to me, too, but why? It's not like there's an up or down. It's just a rock! lol

    I’m still in the process of setting up my rock shop in my “Artist Asylum” 😁 so I haven’t tried my new Hi-Tech 10” yet. I also purchased the vice that comes with it. Thank you Taylor for showing how to use the vice vs by hand and the difference it makes. You’re the first rock hounder/slabber I’ve seen do that. Seeing demos on using and maintenance of a saw is very helpful. Could you please also demonstrate and explain your method of sharpening the blade?

    I have the 10" saw with the vice and really like it so far for the little I have used it. The vise does have it's limits as far as getting rocks clamped in the way you want to cut them and is a bit fiddly getting it set. It's definitely better for more blocky shapes than rounded and the jaw opening is limited. Still, I'm glad I got it so I can make cuts with parallel faces for cabs. I did replace the Philips head screws with slightly longer 5" bolts with hex heads so I can use a wrench on them.
