[TheForge] Chop Saw Irritation

Mon Jan 28 09:38:29 2002

This raises a question in my mind... How about a water quench on the
cut?  Not a stream of water, but perhaps a small fine mist directed a
the entry point of the cut?  Are the blades made with adhesive that
will allow this?  What other problems would there be that I'm not
seeing, other than needing to keep it all wiped off and maybe  sprayed
with a water displacer. ( I wouldn't spray the blade)
