How to make diamond saws
The saw plate is 8-12 in diameter
To be of soft iron. Saw must fit
tightly on the shaft and not loosely or that
it will rattle. Then for the diameter of
the plate must be mach all around other
wise the plate will damage and will fly out.
Can be had of Max Boltz,
Bonn, Germany.
Knock with a knife the edge of the
plate. Knocks to be as close as possible
and about 1mm. deep, straight over
the plate and not at an angle.
Pulverize best finely in a mortar
and mix with as little roorline on a flat
plate as possible. Put in the mixture
with the finger and then with the
trolley.
(dust it with the iron nail.)
