    I studied Jewelry Design and Construction years ago and now plan to
    pick-up where I left off.  I have also accumulated some used
    Lapidary equipment after living in New Mexico for several years and
    am in the process of refurbishing that gear. 

    I have a Loritone 12" slab saw that needs a new blade, but I can't
    seem to find much information comparing the variety of replacement
    blades available.  Seems like the factory blades run about $130
    through a local Lapidary supply, but I have also seen blades
    advertised for about half that price on the net.  Much of what I
    plan to cut is hard - agate, petrified wood, rhyolite, and some
    other minerals. 

    I'm also curious how I can effectively slab an entire specimen in
    the Loritone by extending the specimen outside the vice - any easy
    methods besides gluing the rock to a piece of lumber? 

Regards,
Mark Fant
