46 TRIM/SLAB SAWS

MODEL 10TS-B

You'll get years of service from this 10 ″ trim/slab saw.

First, it has all the features needed to make it a versatile trim and slab saw. Easy to use as a trim saw because the vise rotates off to one side to free the table for trimming. With the vise in place, you can slab rocks up to 3 1 ⁄ 2 " in diameter. Table measures 12" W x 17" L. Overall size approx. 29  1 ⁄ 2 " L x 18" W. Second, it's built solid and rugged with cast aluminum construction with a durable, impact-resistant finish. Arbor shaft is 5 ⁄ 8 " stainless steel with lubricated, factory sealed ball bearings, and an extra neoprene oil seal on the tank side. This saw must be used with oil as a coolant. We rec- ommend Roc-Oil, for fast cutting without the usual disadvantages of oil. (See page 58.) Takes approx. 1 ⁄ 2 gal. coolant Vise jaws are steel plate with hardwood facings. De- signed for a time-tested, economical gravity feed system, the vise has 1 1 ⁄ 2 " lateral movement for cross-feeding and adjustable stop guide for constant thickness cuts.

Tips for slabbing with gravity feed trim/slab saws

1. Object to be slabbed is clamped in vise. The cut is started by hand pressure.

2. A bucket of sand is attached to the gravity feed cable to maintain an even pressure throughout.

4. All cuts must be made in a straight line. Be careful not to put side pressure on the blade. Successive straight cuts approximate curved lines that will be finished on a grinding wheel. Make all trim saw cuts outside the template mark.

3. Gravity feed and vise are removed. Once this is done, slabs can be held by hand to be trimmed to desired shape.
