[meteorite-list] Cheap, new 8" lapidary saws - Lortone

[McCartney Taylor]

In regards to the link.  I bought the PF-10 Barranca saw 2 months 
ago.  I do not recommend this saw to anyone.  The splash cover is 
poorly designed. Due to the fact that the travel of the autofeed is on 
the OUTside -- there is a huge gap where oil will splatter out 
nonstop.  The best I could due to stop it is cut an acrylic plate to 
stop most of the oil splattering out.  

Second, my motor arrived dying.  Overheating after 30 minutes out 
of the box.  Barranca just got bought out by Diamond so support 
was poor.  I give them credit, they did ship me a new motor.  Still, 
the coverdesign is flawed.

Maybe I should have bought the Lortone.
