Subject: sawing

Hi Bill. I have a friend who has such an animal about 2 foot
long blade with carbide tipped ripping teeth. Only thing I have
seen like it, and unfortunetly since he found it abandoned on a
job site many years ago, he has no idea as to where to buy one.
Believe me, I have tried to run it down. I can tell you that I
have used a wood cutting saw to slab off pieces in limestone,
both two man and one man buck saws. I suppose it would also
work in marble, particularily if you ran some water through the
kerf, and maybe added a bit of some abrasive grit, and had
plenty of time to invest in the chore. Or you could haul the
stone to a monument company or stone mill if there is one in
your neck of the woods, and pay them a few bucks to slice the
slab off for you. If any of you know of a source for a stone
cutting hand saw, please don't be shy about sharing the
information. I'm sure a few of us would like to add on to our
tool collections.
