HT14 SLAB SAW The Highland Park HT14 Slab saw is a precision lapidary machine that is used to produce slabs of lapidary gemstone material. When properly used it is capable of producing slabs that are very consistent in thickness and surface condition. When used with the proper blade and cutting fluid your saw will produce uniformly flat smooth cut.
1/8 inch 5 turns of crossfeed handle WHEN YOUR NEW HT14 SLAB SAW ARRIVES Your new slab saw will arrive assembled, however the motor ships separately and will be installed once you set up your machine. IMPORTANT NOTE: Lapidary saws MUST have coolant added prior to operation. Your saw is not shipped with cutting oil in- stalled in the saw box.
SECURE MOUNTING OF THE HT14 SLAB SAW The HT14 slab saw, for safety and proper operation must set on a strong and secure table or workbench. The work surface should be flat and level. A level work top is important so that coolant fluid in the saw box is uniform depth.
Using such liquids can result in fire, skin irritation, or other health problems. Highland Park Lapidary is not responsible for adverse consequences that may arise as a result of using unapproved materials as saw coolant.
Such shim material should be cut in shorter than supplied lengths for use in shimming rocks for slabbing. The maximum size rock that can be cut on your HT14 slabs saw is 4.5” X 7”. However, when cutting rocks that are near the maximum size you must check for clearance of the rock to insure that as the cut proceeds the rock does not contact the arbor nut or flange.
