Here is my Big Foot made by Diamond Pacific........this thing is way smaller then i expected.....the wheels on this thing is only 2 3/8" dia. by 1" width belt......TINY but there was no way i was going to spend 2 to 3 times more for the bigger ones The Trim saw and polishing pad are 4".....how does those fit in such a small area......on the right the hood goes out....i took out the wing nut cause it's easyer to adjust that way. They don't make expandable wheels for this thing yet they better hurry before i need new wheels because i really don't want to spend the $$ for whole new wheels.....EXPENSIVE.....

OK here we go.....1st Cab......this attempt is starting out 20mm x 10mm....will see what the final size will be lol as you can see i cut it really close to the edge......i'm goin to relevel one end and redo the marks........the saw made a big mess and uneven cuts because of my shakeyness and it took awhile to cut it all but rock saws don't work fast, they take awhile to make the cut.....this lil slab was over a 1/4" thick and that really pushed the saw.....i really need to find atleast a 8" saw and only use the 4" for slabs under 1/4"........oh well it takes practice.....all i'm hopeing is i didn't already ware out the saw blade BUT all in all i'm starting to this machine.....what can you expect for the price Supporting it is the dop....next pic will be it all ready to go for the domeing process

Here it is finished.....more or less also here is my next two projects....the one i just finished was kinda a smokey color (not smokey quartz) when i started with it and it really lightened up (see threw) and it looks like sea monkeys in it lmao....the next two are agate (brown right one) and i think the black one might be Green Onyx (black left one)...why?? well it's black away but when you put it up to the light the edges lighten up and look more green...idk but i know the brown one is agate cuz it has the bands.
