Anyone have a tile saw i can borrow?

[ReeferMan]

Well i ran carbon and didnt acclimate my lights right and one of my SPS colonies is bleaching from the top up very slowly. It hasnt stopped so i need to cut the bottom off but its way too thick. Anyone have one i can borrow for the night?

[ReeferMan]

in case someone is weary to loan me theirs, I know how to use one and have used one before.

I have one, but I don't think you would want to make the drive.

HD has a cheapo for $88. Anyone tried that model? Sorry did not mean to divert/hijack thread

I have an old one, but it still works. I am in centreville, which is maybe 10 miles away. ( I traded you the UV sterilizer the other day...)

You are welcome to borrow it anytime.

dremel.

[ReeferMan]

it would take a long time and alot of bits to cut the base off. We are talking 4 inches wide by 2 inches thick.

[rocko918]

diamond wheel will cut it like butter. go around the base then take a screw driver and break it off. take you 5 mins to do that.

hack away at it with a dremel.

[ReeferMan]

hummmm it works better then the regular wheels?

[rocko918]

the diamond? Heck yeah. much better. 15 bucks at HD, you can get a ton of them at harbor frieght for alot less.

harbor frieght LOCAL?

[rooroo]

phisigs,

 

Check a local tool rental store. Shouldn't cost you more than $20 to rent a good quality one and it should come with a new blade (or wheel, whatever they call them). Check with Capital Rentals (capitalrentals.com).

check their site.

Once again, I have to bail Chris out. I have a Dremel with a diamond tip. I think it will take about 2 minutes to cut through whatever you want. It might cost you though...

Dremmel with dimond good, another way to go is heavy duty tin snips.

ok so i did the tile saw route and it took me maybe 5 min to do all the cuts. Only down side to cutting the base is there isnt alot of flexibility with the tile cutter. I have some nice big frags and two colonies now. the bleached part was a pain to get off completely. Now i need some iodine to dip them in.
