Inland diamond band saw

gm333 · Aug 27, 2007

I was watching one of these on e-bay and the price went to over 200.00 with shipping.
I decided to do a little research to see if I could find one cheaper on the net.
I actually found this one, the shipping is around $17.00., What a deal!

thats the saw i use and its WAY better then a band saw and probably better than a ring saw
i can make individual acan heads and cut through both skeleton and rock easily
dont need to plane off the rock first, well with this saw you can do that too
great saw
cheaper than ring saw too and comes with an extra blade, ive cut over 10 colonies and over 40 frags and still works great
only thing i dont like is the water cooling part, not a water bath like most water cooled things but a drip tray that feeds water to the blade

A must have for fragging. You are missing the boat if you don't get one.

Crap---I should have bought that one instead of the ring saw. I was expecting to be cutting a lot of micros--but now I don't wanna cut them anymore.

I may put my ringsaw up on ebay!

i was going to say you might be able to just switch out the blades but forgot you wouldnt be able to cool the blade on a normal band saw
but yeah the inland diamondband saw is very easy to work with
i dont think you can really do single micro heads with this band saw though, but acan heads are easy

I would rather stick with acans any more anyway. The ringaw is OK for micros but I have still destroyed quite a few heads. I'm just gonna get rid of all my micros and stick with more visible and affordable LPS.
