I’m gonna say, the last one you cut……it is amethyst running through it!! Thanks!!😊

[@jessicajoe111]

Since I’ve been collecting crystals my 10 year old son loves to learn about them. He will bring home different looking rocks everyday and ask me if they are crystals and if we can break them open to see. I think getting a saw like this will make him happy and help him learn more about the rocks he finds 😍 maybe he will want to be a geologist when he grows up 🥰

[@daltonoelke-hamm9153]

Pursue it and see if he sticks with it. Man do I wish I did. Rocks and crystals are one of the coolest natural phenomena that we get to witness as far as I’m concerned

[@FeveredDreams]

​@@daltonoelke-hamm9153Never too late, and it is so easy Joe biden could do it.​

[@rumpy933]

I find it interesting that when you open up a cut agate and do the reveal, sometimes you flip them over because they look "upside down". It's weird because there's no top or bottom, but i almost always agree with the way you flip it to be oriented. Just an observation lol

[@AgateDad]

Isn’t that sooo funny!!! I catch myself doing that during the editing and think, “why did you flip it?!”

[@minerjohnny41]

​@AgateDad see, you're an even better creator than you thought, you always want the best angle/view without even planning it

[@rumpy933]

That's my thought too. Why did he flip it? It looks right to me, too, but why? It's not like there's an up or down. It's just a rock! lol @@AgateDad

[@user-hm6bn6kw6k]

Congratulations, Agate Dad. Looks like the winter holidays came early for you this year. The rest of us will just have to envy you for awhile.

[@colleenlinke4208]

That Labradorite is GORGEOUS!!!!!

[@kaylahagan817]

The 5:22 Malawi agate looks like a butterfly🦋

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

Looks like the perfect size saw for a lot of projects! Love those really colorful banded agates. So beautiful! 😊

[@annettebromley9217]

I love labradorite, stunningly beautiful and the flash changes so much in different light.

[@lynnrandal317]

Wow I have no words to explain those extraordinary minerals 😮

[@Finefingers74]

Love the random minerals cutting videos, please do more and would love to see a lot of those polished. We all know how pretty the agates look but the other stuff was beautiful too!❤ Also HI from Australia!🇦🇺

[@annettebromley9217]

I had ton of fun too. Really enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@amandacampbell6822]

Labradorite is my favorite stone besides agates lol

[@kastah]

wow, beutiful, I L O V E green stones and that pattern was special.And, YEAH, Jasper is my number one favorite.

[@markkoehler5110]

That’s an amazing set up and that saw looks incredible!

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Nice cutting video. Sow(rhymes with cow) belly is uncurled unsmoked bacon….fresh side, if you will. The sow belly agate was really prettier than I expected. Thanks!

[@AgateDad]

I said it wrong and I know it LOL!

[@patriciamckean4186]

Nice addition to the shop. Look forward to seeing more cutting.

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Congratulations on the new Hii-Tech 6". Love your slicing videos!

[@sarahstrong7174]

I love Laboradite. All the best.

[@AgateDad]

Same :)

[@TinasTimelessTreasures]

Wow that's a great saw if you can use a wet saw in the house clean and safely its a win WIN for everyone! Awesome rocks too!

[@AgateDad]

You got that right!

[@tulazaz]

I’m still in the process of setting up my rock shop in my “Artist Asylum” 😁 so I haven’t tried my new Hi-Tech 10” yet. I also purchased the vice that comes with it. Thank you Taylor for showing how to use the vice vs by hand and the difference it makes. You’re the first rock hounder/slabber I’ve seen do that. Seeing demos on using and maintenance of a saw is very helpful. Could you please also demonstrate and explain your method of sharpening the blade?

[@patrickpuzzo416]

Nice new saw and the agates are amazing! Thanks!

[@sandmaker]

Congratulations on the new saw. I like the vice. I can see more consistant slabs from it. Any show with cut, cut, cut is my kind of show. Thanks for all the great reveals. See ya next time😊 😷⚒

[@Patrickroche1]

I really apreciate what you doing, you doing thing that i do and it make me feel more like a normal person. Like carrying a big rock tru a river 😂

[@AgateDad]

You are very normal ❤❤❤

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

I'm excited too!!

[@elainelear4982]

6" saw was a good choice.

[@AgateDad]

🙌

[@kellyhollingsworth6100]

The orange glow from zebra calcite under UV is amazing. I bought the 6" saw first still need to buy a bigger saw. Have a great weekend.

[@meg2831]

When you said that one looked like a bunny i was saying oh a duck! Lol

[@Justfollowthecrumbs]

Me too😊

[@AgateDad]

I see the duck too!

[@ukulelia56]

Congratulations for that super tool! I love your Chanel

[@nitawynn9538]

I like the vise. I don’t need to worry about you cutting off a finger. ❤

[@AgateDad]

You don’t need to vice or not 😂

[@vickyschoeneweis4036]

I noticed that the new saw just sounds like a wasp or bee. I like it.

[@AgateDad]

I speed up the clips

[@maryheft8100]

Love your videos and I’ve got to say that I’m thrilled to see your new saw w/ a vice option! I’ve been a rock enthusiast forever but as a nurse my heart skips beats when we watch you cut smaller rocks by hand!🫣

[@lovefaith1794]

Gorgeous!!

[@kirsiselei8703]

That blue one❤❤. Ad all the other ones too❤

[@obieobrien5883]

Lab-row-dite. Really pretty stone!

[@yautiano]

At the instant 5:07, the two pieces of agate look perfectly like the wings of a butterfly. It looks as if you were holding a butterfly with your fingers. It is only missing the body with the antennae. 😄😄

[@tahafernanamusicchannel7880]

Thank you Sir 💚 respect from SA

[@debidevaney8398]

Those Zebra calcite pieces are so pretty!!! I enjoyed the review on the 6" saw, but I love the pieces you cut even more😂 Have a Blessed weekend Taylor🙏

[@AgateDad]

You too ❤️

[@Baergen.]

Definitely considering getting one of these saws for black Friday.

[@AgateDad]

Nice! Make sure to use my code to save 10% on accessories!

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

Love it!!!

[@johnnygary5666]

Nice saw and the vice made nice slabs, I think it would be a good starting saw, one day I will get one

[@dawnwilkinson8717]

Beautiful rocks. I like your new toy 😆great cuts. Thank you for sharing.

[@AgateDad]

They sure are!

[@sarahstrong7174]

You could make beautiful game playing pieces on that saw, with the vice.

[@FindingPebbles]

Beautiful stuff.

[@judywhisenant1483]

These are awesome

[@steveegbert7429]

I have the 10" saw with the vice and really like it so far for the little I have used it. The vise does have it's limits as far as getting rocks clamped in the way you want to cut them and is a bit fiddly getting it set. It's definitely better for more blocky shapes than rounded and the jaw opening is limited. Still, I'm glad I got it so I can make cuts with parallel faces for cabs. I did replace the Philips head screws with slightly longer 5" bolts with hex heads so I can use a wrench on them.

[@kathywhite4547]

So beautiful

[@user-hm6bn6kw6k]

Wow! Agate at 8:55 is the Northern Lights!

[@minerjohnny41]

Time to sit and relax with no distraction.... IT'S CUTTING TIME !!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@sarahstrong7174]

I like that little saw with the vice to hold the little rocks so I can keep my fingers safe.

[@jessicaanderson4748]

Labrador-ight my favorite!

[@TredecimRocks]

Loved seeing the vise! I've been wondering if it'd be worth getting one to add to my saw.

[@AgateDad]

I don’t think it would hurt!

[@jpexoticpets146]

Looks like a lava flow!

[@alblood8575]

Watching it a second time, I do see the bunny...I first saw a duck! XD Chonky little duck! XD

[@seth1371]

I feel like we lucked out with so many cuts on this video. Much appreciated

[@minami.333]

So beautiful & amazing....❤❤❤👌👌👌😍😍😍👍👍👍

[@chrissiejundt9867]

Marvelous

[@janehelbert7551]

I liked the first Malaui agate.

[@maybeebuzzy2265]

4:47 volcanic looking😎

[@pattyrombalski5312]

Where did you get your rocks that you cut today?

[@deniseview4253]

Very nice cuts. The rainforest agate, how will you decide what side to be the top of the cab. They are gorgeous and hard to figure what side. ???

[@AgateDad]

That’s a tough decision!

[@grokeffer6226]

Nice!!! You Rock!!! 🪨🪨🪨👍👍👍

[@janehelbert7551]

I can see the advantage of the vice.

[@keithcunningham7925]

Im happy with the 10 inch saw that I got from you I use it all the time but that is something that I can't use inside so maybe in the future I will get a smaller one

[@ralphwatson7036]

I've had the 6" for awhile now. I like it but it needs a drain!

[@AgateDad]

Yeah that part is funky, I use an old bottle and squish it, it sucks up the water and then I dump it out and repeat. Then I use a 60ml syringe to suck up the remaining water.

[@rehmasaddiq170]

I m watching all your agat cutting vediis

[@JamesLovesRocks329]

I love the zebra calcite

[@-hw-]

very pretty

[@kimberlysulak2394]

I have that same saw with vise. overall, I am happy with it. I noticed that your vise does not have any nylon bushings on the slider. You may want to check that out as it would eliminate slop and rattling noises.

[@AgateDad]

That’s a good idea!l thanks!

[@2601moe]

How would a tile saw work? Just getting started.

[@AgateDad]

It would work just not as good of cuts, louder, and messier.

[@minerjohnny41]

Idaho looks like a plump duck , hahaha I didn't see a bunny head

[@leodapat9139]

Watching and listening from pinas iloilo city 🏙️🌆❤️🌺🌹🙉🌞.

[@m.jewell9107]

What a great new saw! How much are the replacement blades? I'm looking at a lap saw and its related costs. Thanks!

[@AgateDad]

Check on Hi Techs website with their blades and other accessories linktr.ee/AgateDad

[@bokunokintama5523]

Did you see the fire on that labradorite?!😊

[@rehmasaddiq170]

I would like to buy same like your HITECH maching

[@schwie13]

What saw blade did you use in this video? I have the thin sintered saw blade (red) and it hasn't been performing as well as yours did, even after using a dressing stick. Usually takes 5-10 minutes for one LSA and often skips and slows... Thanks in advance!

[@AgateDad]

I was using a 6” thin sintered from HTD, this was brand new and first use. I have cut a lot with it and can tell it slowed down after that, might just be a shorter lifespan due to its thinness.

[@minerjohnny41]

Lab-brad-or-ite .... named after where it was originally found in Newfoundland Canada

[@asrulaziz2619]

Is calcite the white with straps ??

[@AgateDad]

Zebra calcite

[@raundupuis3134]

Fabulous selection to cut. Nice reveals! Play your guitar for us!

[@AgateDad]

Hahaha I need to get the rust off first!

[@susandevinenapoli7649]

I just got back from Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas. I bought an identification card and found everything but a diamond. Two kinds are too soft but the others i wonder about

[@susandevinenapoli7649]

...cutting open.

[@SB-gv4ug]

I like your 10” but a 6” still works 😊

[@AgateDad]

They both work and work well together :) love them both!

[@viktorshevtsov3749]

Как всегда, красота . Спасибо.

[@nixxthefox]

labradorite is pronounced like labrador (like the dog!) and then ite (like mite/might but w/o the m!)

[@AgateDad]

Thanks!

[@LiuverHodelin-bw6og]

Una pregunta como hacerlas llegar hasta allá, lo malo es que no tengo dinero, pero me gustaría enviar aghatas desde cuba si saben de alguna vía, y por supuesto que alguien pague el envio lo hago, me gustaría mucho ver mis aghatas cubanas en Estados Unidos u otro pais

[@SGT.BROKEN]

I have some gemstone material I want to send you. How do I do that?

[@AgateDad]

Send me an email or message on IG or FB :)

[@YadiPermana-xv9cn]

Batu Labrador saya liat sangat bagus sekali..

[@wocky661]

If I want to send you agates or ask questions, do you have an official way to be reached?

[@AgateDad]

Email or IG/FB messenger

[@marywrigjt7614]

👍👍❤️

[@roxannegaunt7766]

Reminds me of abalone Shell

[@rehmasaddiq170]

Can you guide me

[@the.nerdy.mermaid]

Saying Labradorite is almost as hard as saying chalcedony

[@AgateDad]

😅

[@saralynn518]

It's a shame you can't raise the blade up, but nice you don't need a hose in your house.

[@AgateDad]

The arbor setup is actually very good for how much blade you get

[@maryannkom299]

Lab ra dor ite labrador ite.

[@annpellerin8440]

Just say the name of the dog breed..labrador, then add ite to it. Beautiful stone!
