I just said WM cause that's what I have. Not biased or anything ;) I sent a couple request about diamond coated bands, noone lists their prices :P

I have an old Wood-Mizer Way, or maybe it was the earlier Wood-Mizer News that had an article about a man in Miami cutting "Miami Oolite" on his LT40. I think his name was Barry Masin (sp), but it's been years since I read the article. I could probably find it if you wanted. He was still cutting wood, so I suspect he was just switching back and forth between a toothed band and a diamond encrusted band. I wouldn't want all the slurry around a bandmill myself, too abrasive for my tastes.

The wire saw has gone through a couple of upgrades, and is working like a champ.

I was thinking the same about the slurry. It doesn't seem like it would be too hard to build a small wire saw.

Jeff, if I figure something out I'll let you know, and I'd be happy to cut your puddin stones! ;D

If you look around, you might find a big old vertical bandsaw. My friend that built the big saw has a vertical bandsaw with 42" wheels that he is going to convert to wire, although he may be using some leftover wire wheels. A wire saw wheel has a deep groove designed to capture a rubber "tire". I don't think I have any close ups anywhere.
