Electric cutoff saws; hydraulic ring saws

["Kaaron" <beetle@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Ken and Zoorea for your notes. I have worked with
wedges and shims some; they seem most useful for coarse
splitting of large stones. I am still enamored with the saw
idea, as I forsee doing some more careful splitting, as well
as carving roughout shapes.

My mistake: the Partner electric saw is only 14", not 16".

A ring saw does not have the blade rotating from the center,
but rather, from the edge, thus the great cut depth. See

handheld cutoff saws. Expensive!

Anyone else out there with more info?
