For hobbyists and professionals alike in the world of lapidary and rock crafting, the right tools are essential. When it comes to transforming large rocks, minerals, and even glass into workable slabs, a Rock Saw is an indispensable piece of equipment. Our American-made 10-inch slab saw stands out as a powerful and economical solution, engineered to provide clean, precise cuts for a variety of materials. This robust machine is thoughtfully designed and includes two distinct 10-inch saw blades, each optimized for different cutting tasks, ensuring you’re always equipped with the best blade for your specific project. Whether you are working with delicate glass or rugged mineral specimens, this rock saw is built to handle the task with ease.
This Hi-Tech Diamond 10″ slab saw is engineered around a robust 5/8″ arbor, a standard size that ensures compatibility with any 10″ saw blade featuring the same arbor size. The expansive and easily removable saw table is a key feature, offering a generous 19-3/4″ L x 12″ W work surface. This ample space not only provides room for maneuvering larger pieces but also accommodates basic carving operations directly on the table. Constructed with unbreakable, cross-linked polyethylene for its housing, this rock saw is built for durability and ease of maintenance. The rustproof material simplifies cleanup, ensuring the machine remains in top condition for years of reliable use. At the heart of this slab saw is a 1/3 hp motor, delivering a powerful 1,725 rpm cutting speed. This motor provides ample strength for making deep, consistent cuts through dense materials. Furthermore, the integrated coolant reservoir, seamlessly built into the machine’s base, streamlines operation and cleanup. A convenient built-in drain plug allows for quick and effortless draining of the reservoir, making maintenance a breeze. To enhance user experience and maintain a clean workspace, a splash guard is included with each machine. This essential accessory effectively contains water spray, keeping coolant on your workpiece and away from the operator.
The true versatility of this Hi-Tech Diamond 10″ slab saw lies in its inclusion of two specialized 10″ saw blades, each designed to optimize cutting performance based on material type. For robust materials like agates, jades, and geodes – often encountered in rock and mineral work – the notched diamond saw blade is the ideal choice. Its design is specifically engineered for slabbing these larger, tougher specimens. Conversely, the sintered diamond saw blade excels when working with materials such as glass, topaz, quartz, and finer agates. This blade is optimized for achieving clean cuts in these more delicate or brittle materials. Having both blade types included ensures that your rock saw is always ready to tackle a diverse range of projects right out of the box.
Power Supply Considerations
When selecting your rock saw, it’s crucial to verify the correct electricity supply for your location. While 110V models are standard for North America, 220 volt models are manufactured specifically to meet the power requirements of overseas customers using 220V – 240V power. It is important to note that all 220 volt models are equipped with a CE rated, Type F plug, which is standard in many European countries.
