i though i would give you all a review of the lortone 14" slab saw i my self have herd all kinds of complaint on this model saying it cut to fast gets jammed when cutting hard jaspers and agate ect and so on !
so needing to add a saw to my work shop to keep up with my slab auctions on Sundays i decided to buy a 14" and see for my self how they work so i drove up to richardsons and picked one up the cost is 1650.00 brand new got it home and have worked the piss out of the thing and it have preformed
flawlessly ! i have cut every thing on it and it cuts great and fast !the only thing i dont like about it is having to take it off of the bottom pan to clean it and soon i will figure out how to modifie it so that i can clean it in place i will pass that along !
so if you looking to ad a saw or looking for your first one or on the fence about this one now you know my opinion

They were using 2 of them this year at the Rockhound retreat and they swear by them (not at them).
I have a 12" lortone now and as soon as I do the vice mods it needs I will use it a lot more. The cut quality is super, not a lot of blade marks to spend extra time grinding off.
Rockpowells mod looks pretty good. so far I have just used the scrape the sludge and add oil method but eventually I'll add a drain.

“You preachers of equality, the tyrannomania of impotence clamors thus out of you for equality: your most secret ambitions to be tyrants thus shroud themselves in words of virtue. Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche

amygdule: Her sandwich taste better... Nov 11, 2024 17:07:29 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
