homemade bridgesaws

["wayne" <sleblanc@zzzzzzzz>]

     I have used in desperation or by necessity  a  road saw, they are
used to cut concrete, asphalt and they are self propelled.  I built a
track from steel, and I use a 36" blade. I only use it to make ashlar
and patio slabs from the local dolomite, which is a very hard limestone,
you can do step cutting  as long as the piece being cut is secure. The
one I have is "TARGET"  65HP gas unit, that was picked up at a
construction auction.  My next project will be  stone splitter using an
old hydraulic hammer , as the flint  knappers use to pre-tension with a
stick before they flacked  a piece???
