    Hi, Lee Marshall told me that while he was at SNAG in Cleveland,
    demoing the New Concept Saw, he was able to cut a 3/8" square mokume
    rod for Bill Seely, of Reactive Metals. He was using a 1/0 blade at
    the time, and just used that blade that was already in the saw.  He
    says that the  speed goes down so slow that you can count the teeth
    as they go by, and the power at that speed is still unstoppable.
