- This is a video taken over the course of a few weekends in which I cut many many rocks that have been in my collection and I've been dying to cut and see what's inside but I hadn't had a saw... until now. This is a Hi-Tech 10” inch slab saw.
Most of the stones in this video are from places in Washington or Oregon. I cut rocks from the Yakima River, Red Top, Biggs OR, Lincoln City OR, Washougal WA, Rimrock Lake, and the Yakima River Canyon as well as one piece of Crazy Lace Agate I purchased at an estate sale. I cut thundereggs, agates, geodes, jasper among other things I'm unsure of. I hope you enjoy!
Takeaway: cutting hard minerals takes a long time! But it's well worth it.
Heck yeah! Congratulations on the new saw. Cutting rocks is an critical step in learning about rocks and minerals.
You have some really lovely cuts there.
Thanks Jared! I really appreciate it man. I’m so happy I went ahead and got the saw, total game changer
Rocks are like people. Some look gruff and rugged on the outside, but when you pierce their crusty exterior you find that they're very beautiful inside. Congrats on the video.
That's a nice saw Gunnar. You cut up some nice rocks they all looked awesome
Thanks Michael! It’s so much stinkin fun man haha
I've been looking into getting a saw also trying to figure out where I can put it though that's my only problem haha
@@Shannon_Michael_W. oh yeah that was an issue for me too. I’m glad I chose the lapidary saw rather than a tile saw because there isn’t much mess so I can do it inside.
Congratulations! I started cutting a year or so ago. I guess 2 years now... Enjoy it. Next you'll need a good polishing wheel.
Keep on rocking bro.
Thanks Steve!
Congrats on your new saw. Thanks for sharing your rock cuts
Awesome material, that picture jasper is killer!
Oh thank you! I’m glad you liked that one!
I love the instant gratification, here's a rock: now here's the inside. Good stuff
Haha thanks man, I figured it was a hassle for me to film the cutting anyway so I figured I’d go no frills
Beautiful sharing 👍
I'm so glad you got your saw! It was great fun seeing the inside of your rocks! They were all so beautiful! Great video!
Thank you Julie! I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Congratulations on your new saw. I'm jealous!
Great video! I am at the point where I am also looking for my first saw. It was fun watching your reactions, all of those were really cool!
Thanks Gabe! It’s a blast, you won’t regret it haha
Amazing job nice cuts enjoyed all of your reveals!
Wow, those are ALL real nice!
awesome! I really want to be able to slice my pieces
I run my saw at about an inch of cut in about five minutes. It has a power feed so I can do other stuff while it cuts. Still have to be there to listen in case something happens.
Looks like you might have a little runout on your blade.
Your jasper looks like rainbow jasper
Congratulations on the saw! You cut some pretty rocks today.
Thanks Permie Bird! I actually did this video over the course of 3 or 4 weekends haha they take a lot longer to cut than I expected!
@@gunnarnizzler Well they are rocks after all. 😉
@@permiebird937 hahaha you right you right
awesome. is the one at 14 mins a crazy lace agate?
Would have been a lot better if you had cut these to show maximum surface area. Most of these cuts are at the smallest part of the rock.
