[Rockhounds] A Big Rock Saw

[Kreigh Tomaszewski]

Bryan,

They are used for trenching thru rock to lay utility cables. Typical
depth of cut is one yard; I think it is a three inch kerf. I understand
there are even bigger/wider models for cutting water pipe trenches.

I have heard that most quarries use cable saws for slabbing the huge
blocks they remove from careful blasting.
