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
We are loving this machine just to see what is inside of thundereggs and other rocks.
We are totally new at being a rock hound and was one of the things on my bucket list of things to do.
Hi-Tech Diamond has been a great help getting us started.
Saw arrived pretty quick. I started cutting geodes right a way.
The bigger saw has almost twice the depth as my first saw and the blade is stiffer.
When I unpackaged the saw, the unit had no on off switch installed for starters. Wires were hanging out of the side of the unit and it was sign off by a quality control person. Epic fail. This was going to be a gift for a loved one and it failed from the start. Not to mention they wanted a restocking fee of 20% for the return…get real. Fortunately Amazon took care of this disappointment. Do better Hitech. I was so looking forward to “Made in the USA” money spent to help fellow Americans but whoever your QA person is…well…might want to rethink you QA program. I won’t order another.
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.
