Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: What is the difference between a trim saw and a slab saw?
    A: Trim saws use smaller blades (4"-10") for precise trimming of slabs and small rough. Slab saws use larger blades (10"-24"+) for slicing large specimens and boulders into workable slabs.
  • Q: Do all machines require water cooling?
    A: Yes — all lapidary cutting and grinding machines require water cooling to protect blades, wheels, and stones from heat damage and to produce clean, chip-free results.
