Complete stone saw from BProdigy gives you many new options for customising smaller stones.
Made in Taiwan, the machine is built as a tile cutting machine, but in addition to the tile cutting saw blade, it also comes with a Thinner saw blade Specially made for cutting jewellery stones. The machine has a cutting depth of approximately 3.2 cm, which corresponds to Lortone's smallest saw, but at 1/4 of the price. The saw is good for smaller items and beach stones that need to be cut before grinding. The machine is best suited for outdoor use as it makes a lot of water splashes*. With the practical carrying handle and a weight of 6-7kg, it's quick to take out for use and water is easily drained after use via the drainage hole on the side. For rough cutting in beach pebbles Tile cutting blade [LINK] used, it's cheap but makes a rather wide, imprecise cut compared to real diamond blades for stone saws. So if you only need to cut a handful of stones every now and then, this is a great solution, but if you need to make many and more detailed cuts (on larger stones) H+B 10″ stone saw A better solution.

Whether you have a Drum machine, spirator or stone grinder with grinding wheel, it's an advantage to have a stone saw! For example, you can cut beach stones to create flat sides, make saw grooves (0.5 mm) for silver wire, shape stones into triangles, hearts, cubes, etc. The saw blade can cut stones up to approx. 3.2 cm thick (6.4 when cutting from both sides). It has no teeth and is completely harmless, small diamond grains on the blade grind through the stone, however, safety goggles are always recommended when using fast rotating tools.
The 7" stone saw is ready to go 2 minutes after you unpack it. Attach the saw blade with the included spanner, add water and you're ready to go as soon as the machine is plugged in.
*A simple shield can be made with a piece of plastic sheet 3-4 mm thick across the width of the saw. The plate is clamped in the slot at the front and back of the saw, allowing the water to drain back into the tub and avoiding too much splashing. Shield not included.
Aussie Sapphire from "down under"sells the exact same model and one of their customers has made a couple of videos about the saw that are definitely worth watching before buying. We have reservations that the saw blade may not be completely identical, but the video is a really nice overview of the saw.
