Just picked up a HP 6in trim saw, tips?
Looking for any tips/links/hacks for those who run a Highland Park 6in trim saw.
Also a couple specific questions:
-What do people run for oil, and are there brick and mortar locations to pick up a gallon? I’d rather not have to pay to have it shipped, but not much in the way of lapidary suppliers near me (I’m in Vermont).
-Related, is oil the better option over just water? I’LL be using it to pre-shape rocks for tumbling, mostly agates and jaspers.
-Any additional splash guard solutions folks have made? It seems fairly contained with the blade guard and the plexiglass splash shield, but looking for any other tips on minimizing mess.
-Has anyone set up a fence to ensure straight (or at least more straight) cuts? I know they offer one for the 10in saw, but I didn’t see anything for the 6in.
