Hey All
I just acquired about 3lbs of Stabilized Mammoth Tooth and I am wondering the best way to cut it into pen blanks.
I have a Laguna 18BX Bandsaw with a Carbide Tipped blade for wood and a horizontal slow speed liquid cooled bandsaw for metal.
Would I be better off using the slow liquid cooled metal bandsaw to cut the Mammoth Tooth? (It is hydraulically fed so I can make the cut speed extremely slow.)
Also, to turn it I assume carbide tipped tools and a lot of patience, correct?
