Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is a slab saw used for?
A: A slab saw is a large lapidary saw designed to cut rough rocks, boulders, and nodules into flat slabs that can then be trimmed and shaped into cabochons or display specimens. -
Q: What size slab saw do I need?
A: A 10"–14" slab saw handles most hobby and semi-pro work. An 18"–24" saw is needed for large boulders or high-volume production slabbing. -
Q: What coolant does a slab saw use?
A: Slab saws typically use oil-based coolant (mineral oil or commercial lapidary oil) to lubricate the blade and flush away cuttings. Some models support water-based coolant. -
Q: How long does it take to cut a slab?
A: Cut time depends on rock hardness, blade size, and feed rate. A typical 6" agate nodule may take 30–90 minutes on a 14" saw with automatic feed.
