Oh you gotta go in the winter, but the BEST time of year for it!

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Thank you! Im just beyond stoked to have found this piece of history! And it an agate too!

Agate/Chalcedony (Native American Arrowhead or Projectile Point)

Hey! I'm glad the video helped! The grease we used came right from Hi-Tech Diamonds website, they sell these little packets right there but after referencing the manual, I can also see that they say, "Apply a few drops of motor oil, way oil, lithium or water pump grease inside the arbor where it fits onto the shaft. Also apply a few drops of oil or grease onto the motor shaft, rubbing to coat the shaft lightly. Make sure there is no excess oil so that oil doesn’t drip down the motor shaft and get into the motor. This will cause an instant motor burn-out."

But also are you talking about the nut to hold the saw blade on? That nut does not need any grease only the brass bar and the motor shaft need to be greased to allow free spinning. The nut in my personal experience even when hand tightened is still hard to get off each time. You could try applying some (anti-seize) of some type on there. OR what I do is have 2 pairs of vice grips, one that grips the nut, and one that grips the motor shaft on the left side, then I pull/push them in opposite directions and the nut breaks free every time no problem. Let me know if that helps or is what you were referring to.

Oh my 10" saw would not be able to handle this monster! Probably need a 24" to get a good cut on this. Still, absolutely cool to see them this size!

I wish i could share pix in the comments to show some of the gorgeous jaspers i have found along the Umpqua river where I live! Yellows, browns, oranges, vibrant reds and even bluish purples all mixed in singular stones and some are banded/layered while others are plumes of colors with nearly translucent parts swirled together! I love the fire engine reds with yellows and oranges.

I believe so!

What are some rarest agates?

Willamette?

Hey thank you! That CabKing is a game changer!

@OregonCoastAgates I bet! I will get one someday. I know I would be hooked on making cabs forever tho 😂

It looks like ice inside it , but then when light hits it it looks CB like the sun ☀️

Absolutely! The polish really brought out those inner bands!
