It works!!! And actually works pretty dang good.
U shaped vertical bird house wick, 1.7ohm 30g coil....Hardly any to no noticeable lag.
With the wick fairly tight to the walls of the inner chamber juice wicks to the top of the wick.
So far no hot splatter.
I'm getting a good vape at around 9.5 watts

That saw works great. The only thing I miss is having a sled.
The small grinder you probably want to look at the variable speed for $5 more.
I use this wet/dry grinder from HF and it works great. I use the dry wheel for aggressive rough shaping and the wet wheel to get the wicks nice and round and smooth. Make sure you get a dressing wheel or something for dressing a dry wheel, they clog up fairly quickly.

Depending on how many wicks you plan on making and tools you already have, the saw really isn't necessary.
I use an oscillating tool with diamond disk to cut blanks from the block, a good Dremel diamond wheel works good also. The advantage of the oscillating tool is that it's easier to control than a spinning wheel and not as messy. But I already had the oscillating tool and Dremel, a saw would be very nice to have.
I kind of wonder about the size of the little grinder, both for stability and work area. I use both the face and the side of the dry wheel, depending on what I'm doing. Bolting the little grinder down would fix the stability. With the wet/dry grinder it's heavy enough that I haven't needed to bolt it down, the weight and rubber feet work pretty good for the light work of wick grinding.
But I haven't used the little grinder, and it will probably work just fine.
Dremel + 2" diamond disks (ebay) is as cheap as you can go for a quick ceramic setup. I use the edge of the disk for cutting blanks, and the flat side for shaping.
well i have to go back to the store cause the blade for the saw is the wrong arbor size so i may go for the wet dry you posted, the small one with the variable speed was out of stock, i do have a 110v dremel and cordless one to which only has two speeds.

Uh, bap it has been quiet this weekend which I understand all too well, but what mod is this bad boy sitting on? It reminds me of something up mamu's alley, but don't take offense if that is not true.
