craftsman band saw using a wood blade seems to work best for boards. metal blade works best for transformer copper. not sure what the original use for the tub, but it looks kind of like a throw away cement mixing tub 8 inches deep about 36 by 24.

Itried to do the transformer without changing the blade but the tooth array throws the wire all over the place. the metal blade at about 2400 rpm works great, it drops the wire right into the tub.

I have thought about using a tile saw for fingers with water for cooling. I don't think it would get that hot, but the water would contain all of the tiny particles of board that were eaten off by the saw. Save that up and send to a refiner. What do you think?

I think the tile saw would be a great idea. The water would also help keep dust/particles off the board from becoming airborne. I may have to pull my tile saw out and test it this weekend. I have several fine blades that should do the job.
