10" Slab saw
SKU: 31-000
Our American-made 10″ slab saw is a powerful, economical saw machine that is used for slabbing larger rocks, minerals and glass into more manageable pieces. This saw includes TWO different types of 10″ saw blades to best-suit your cutting material; one notched diamond saw blade and one sintered diamond saw blade. Saws are available with or without the saw vise accessory.
The Hi-Tech Diamond 10" slab saw is manufactured with a 5/8" arbor and will accept any 10" saw blade that has a 5/8" arbor. The large, removable saw table gives you plenty of room and allows for some carving ability, measuring 19-3/4" L X 12" W. The housing is made of unbreakable, cross-linked polyethylene that makes it rustproof and easy to clean. Installed in each slab saw is a 1/3 hp motor to provide plenty of strength for large cuts, delivering a speed of 1,725 rpm. The coolant reservoir is built right into the base of the machine. Simply drain the reservoir with the built-in drain plug, which makes cleanup fast and easy. The splash guard that comes with the machine keeps water off you and on your piece, making it easier for you to work.
This Hi-Tech Diamond 10" slab saw machine comes with TWO different types of 10" saw blades to best-suit your cutting material. The notched diamond saw blade is designed for slabbing large rocks and minerals such as agates, jades and geodes, while the sintered diamond saw blade is designed for cutting large pieces of glass, topaz, quartz and fine agates.

Customer Reviews
This in my opinion is an exceptionally good slab for a first time user to the most experienced. I had out the box and set up in less than fifteen minutes. My first cuts was a rare natural Campellite rock from the Campel mine in Bisbee AZ. ( finished cabs in photo). I chose the 10" rather than the 6" for the option of cutting larger rocks .
By the way this was the first time I had used a slab saw.
I have been cutting slabs from many different rocks. Outlaw Canyon Jasper, Moroccan Agate, Crazy Lace Agate, Red Velvet Agate, Montana Agate. The discovery of what's inside is great and I share it with my local Lapidary Society. Two friends at the Society are now considering getting the same machine due to my experience. At some point I'm going to have to start making cabochons out of all the slabs. But for now, it's just too much fun cutting open more and more. Next week I have some Madagascar Dendritic Agate I want to make a bunch of slabs from.
I'm a total beginner and after watching numerous videos, seemed like most everyone uses this saw. Now I know why. Needed some help and the customer service was excellent!
I was disappointed at the major wobble and intermittent vibration that occurred when I used my 10” saw for the first time. I will reach out to customer service to figure out what the issue is. I absolutely love my 6” trim saw from Hi-tech Diamond! I hope I am as impressed with the 10” after figuring out what is going on.

I noticed a left to right wobble that measures .100" on each blade. I had the shaft form a burr and get stuck inside the brass block. I had to force the two pieces apart and customer service told me to use sand paper which I did. It would be better if there was a bearing in there.. My saw is only 2 months old and has about 4 total hour run time on it. I stuck to the 30 minutes on and 30 minutes off but if you do a 20 minute non-stop cut on a hot day your motor might stop on you and your thin sintered blade might go dish shaped curving your cuts noticably.. Good luck flat lapping a curved face.. so I'm already going to need to buy a new thin sintered blade to finish cutting some small agates open.. That blade literally has less than 3 hours on it.. So just reading the instructions won't guarantee you anything.
