I picked up a 16"/18" saw today. Needs some work, but will help with the boulders I collect. There was even a Montana agate in the vice.

My 10" is my maim saw, but when I get back from ArizonaI am going to get a motor on it and start cutting some of my larger rocks. It will do a 6" cut at the moment. The blade has a bit of a wobble, so I will need to run it slow to see if it ill straighten out.What size motor should I run? I don't think the 1/3 h.p motors I have are enough.

Did you pick that up in Prince Albert ? If so, I guess I missed the boat. Nice unit.

No, this isn't the Prince Albert saw. I'm not sure if that one is still available.
