Lapidary – can anyone recommend a good rock saw for halving agate and geodes in the UK?
I am looking for a suitable and fairly cheap diamond saw for (flat) halving stones such as agate or geodes of various kinds ready for polishing. Can anyone recommend either a dedicated lapidary saw or an alternative system suitable for this job? Thanks!!
I use an electric tile cutter with a diamond blade I have found this method effective for making the stones smaller before tumbling.
