Are you into lapidary? I tried cabbing, but due to not having the polishing machine at my house I lost interest. I just like to go out and dig the rocks up, cut them and pass them off to the artists to do their work.

Like I mentioned, the bigger saws also use mineral oil. That would make a huge mess without the enclosures.

Actually, the larger saws like the Lortone are much quieter than your average tile saw. I'd love to get my hands on a 12" saw and set it up in the garage. I would run it as much as possible. Need to have something to do other than worry about bitcoin every day​.
