Of all the cutters on RUclips, you have a fairly unique cutting style with the roll near the end of the cut. Looks like that minimizes the breakthrough that occurs just as the saw pushes through the last of the cut. I'm going to have to give it a try to see the results in person. Your thoughts on how to cut a specific agate is good to hear as well.
I prefer to use mineral oil instead of water. It is much messier, but will give a smoother cut and will cut faster with less blade wear. I do try to minimize the breakthrough and do roll the agate when close to the end. Even so, I am not always successful. Thanks for watching!

@@Superagates How do you get the mineral oil out of the stone? I suspect the stones absorb some of it besides just being covered in it.
