You're cutting through a couple millimeters of microscopic gold strings... You couldn't measure the weight if you collected it all... Unless you're cutting literal TONS of rocks through this you won't be losing too much.

The dunite wasn't my favorite until I saw that piece that was by the edge and it is standing up and the back of it is really rough and craggie. The piece of Listwanite that you tried to make into a rectangle would have been the best for cabs. Its got some really pretty color and that crazy band of quartz is supper cool. I think I'm gonna have to invest in a tile saw, cause being on disability makes the rock saw a bit out of my budget.

When cutting to achieve square cuts, start with a cut. That cut edge then has to shoulder up to the vise perfectly. That will make the next cut at 90° to the first. You should get the picture now. Same with logs to lumber
@EchoJulez 9 ай бұрын
Cool video. Knowing the kerf of the blade creates a slurry, I wonder if that could then be processed and what it would yield? That’s a lot of gold and quartz basically made to powder during the cut. Probably won’t make you rich, but it could be interesting.

Jason, get a small piece of sheet rubber, maybe four inches wide and 6in long or so and poke a couple holes in the narrow end and sticks some bailing wire through it and wire it to hang down just behind the tile saw blade like a Truckers mudflap. That way all that gold slurry you're spitting off the back the blade all over your workbench will hit that rubber and drop down into your trough and then you'll be able to pan that out later. Love your videos
