My corals are screaming that I need to frag them but what saw do I use?
Any of you guys recommend one or do you know who has one for sale?
 
What corals are you fragging is the question? Frogs, hammers and such a sharp pair of scissors will do the trick. Some people prefer a dremel to cut hard coral as well. I've heard of some using a tile saw as well.
From what I know, inland is a very well known brand to use. :-).
Help????
 
The problem with using a dremel is the heat the friction causes. You need to be able to keep water flowing over the coral to counteract the heat. Inland and Gryphon are the preferred coral cutting saws. They are band saws that are made to be used as wet saws and they also use a very small blade with a small kerf so as to be able to preserve as much of the coral as possible without damage when cutting.

Bone cutters work really well for other types of coral
Hope this helps :)
 
Gryphon Aqua saw...best on market at moment.
Inland saw is another option i own both and the gryphon smokes the inland. Gyphon has motor up high way to clean easy to change blades they took everything wrong with inland and fixed. Only thing gryphon is one speed but its perfect so not a problem. Its a good investment for clean cuts on corals that or cut hand cutting tools. Never used a dremel i think its popular for fragging because so many people have them. I do but never used on corals just seems to be more work. Demel has to make a mess spinning that wheel on wet corals..
