Evercleaning.

Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 6th May 2018

Part of myChristmas present this year was an Everclean saw cleaning system that the guys installed on one of the 24" saws.  This is also the saw that I have been cutting all the really nasty metal rocks in.  When they say Everclean, they do mean you have to clean it frequently.

Cleaning consists of opening the canister that acts as a centrifuge and scooping out the "mud" it has collected.  Can I say this is pretty disgusting to do.  It is black(metal colored) pasty, thick, nasty stuff.  Just like what the plumber got out of our kitchen sink pipes a couple of weeks ago.  At least it doesn't smell nasty!  I just emptied it again today, even after doing it yesterday morning.  So much better than having to clean the whole so tho.

Cutting more Coper Rose cubes.  Slabbing Sonora Sunrise and  Desert Storm Dolomite.  

Cutting corners on the second Mystery Mountain Moss Agate from the Pearsons in Nevada.  This looks like it will be a super slow grinding kind of rock.  So far it is looking to be more stable than the Pearsonite from them.  Talked to Tom last week and he will be bringing down more material, but, from below the freeze line.  Hopefully it will hold up better for sphering.  

Back to the rocks.  Thanks for reading.......
