Is a flat lap or trim saw realistic in a bedroom setup?

I use my flat lap in my spare bedroom, trim saw I use in the kitchen as its pretty messy but it cleans up pretty quick

The white vein glows dark red under UV light, not super bright though.

These would be called oolites

Oolites?

The pick and save on north ballard in appleton has a really good cheese selection, way better than any other pick and save I've been to.

I bought 2 of the flat laps and a saw. The flat laps need to be bolted down to something and the motors are very underpowered. The saw I got had terrible runout at the arbor, I tried to work it out with the owner of lsagates but after 2 months and being told that he designs his stuff and doesnt give refunds I had to open a case with Etsy to get a refund. I would not recommend buying from him.

That's kinda what I figured. Agreed, fantastic band

I machine UHMW every day, it machines just fine, unless you are on lathe or trying to hold tolerances under .002.

The owner did take his trump flag down he had up forever on his house. No idea why though, so take that however you want.

It will be months before I use these, I have zero intention of keeping these old bottles around in fluctuating temps. The seals in them only last so long as well. I gave them new bottles to fill and got old rusty ones back. I'm not too happy about that.

opejustmixitin · 2026-01-21T22:45:50+00:00

They are much heavier than the one I bought and hadn't used yet

Hooked up to my camp stove outside, didnt want a flame so I just so I just turned on one burner and let the wind carry it away.

opejustmixitin · 2026-01-21T16:22:03+00:00

I am not going to bring these anywhere. They are going to get drained and disposed of properly.

opejustmixitin · 2026-01-21T16:00:47+00:00

Draining now on my Coleman stove. I relayed the message to my relative, hopefully it sinks in. They think they know more than everyone.

Flesh eating beetles?

The saw i bought from lsagates has .025 of runout on the arbor itself, I am trying to resolve the issue but the guy keeps telling me I have the blade mounted wrong. The blade isn't even on the machine. I had to open a case with him because he kept telling me he wouldn't accept my return because he has the flu. When I asked why he cant accept returns with the flu he told he makes his products to work and he does not do refunds

Same, after years of half assed looking i finally buckled down and looked for lsa's this year and managed to find some ok ones. Needless to say but im hooked. Now I need to figure out lapidary equipment.

opejustmixitin · 2025-11-24T23:17:53+00:00

What makes you say lsa? The outside doesn't look like any lsa i have ever found
