MODEL 10TS-B
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

" in diameter. Table measures
12" W x 17" L. Overall size approx. 29

" 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

" 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.
3. Gravity feed and vise are removed. Once this is done,
slabs can be held by hand to be trimmed to desired shape.
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.
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.
NOTE: This saw does not come with a blade.
To order a 10” blade, see pages 55-57.
