So as of right now the 24" saw has been running for 1 1/2 days, Cutting a huge piece of Plasma Agate that is really hard material.  the last tweaks Alan did to it seems to be working.  I am just 2 cuts away from the first cube.  The material looks amazing with lots of gem green in brown swirls.  

Lucky I had cubes of other material waiting to have their corners off.  currently working on an African Tiger Eye.  So far it appears to be nice and solid.  It looks like the fibers of the Tiger Eye are running for maximum flash.

The Indian Blanket is still waiting to have it's corners hand ground.  the grinder is out of diamond on the cup.  I am crossing my fingers that it will arrive this week yet.

As for the motor for the 18" saw, who knows when that will arrive.  I can't even figure out if they have it in stock.  If I haven't heard anything by Monday, I will start pestering John.  

Thanks for reading.....
