Description

Have you struggled with cutting perfectly straight and flat slabs by hand? Well, struggle no more because the Universal Slab Assistant for 10″ trim saws is here!

The Universal Slab Assistant for 10′′ trim saw (USA10) is a guide that can be attached to many trim saws (see compatibility list below) that allows you to cut perfectly straight slabs by hand. You can split thick slabs down the center and cut thin slabs for stone intarsia. When installed, it can be adjusted to cut slabs of any size up to 7/8” thick.

The USA10 is constructed of high-quality 304 stainless steel and assembled with stainless hardware. It comes with stainless PEM hardware pressed into the back bracket.

100% Made in the USA

All orders ship within three business days, and shipping is free on all items via USPS.

Please watch this informational video before purchasing.


Saw compatibility: The USA10 has been tested with numerous saws to generate the compatibility list below. It’s intended to be used with a 10″ trim saw. However, it may fit on other sizes of saws. If you do not see your saw listed below, it doesn’t mean that it will not work, just that it hasn’t been tested yet with that exact saw. You need a minimum trim saw table size for the lower front right of the table of 5″x7″ and the underside of the table needs to be free of obstructions. You can also print the drilling template and line it up with your blade as shown in the installation video to see if you will have room for it on your saw. Please email me at currentlyrockhounding@gmail.com if you have any fitment questions. Some tools and drilling are required for some installations, and I am not responsible for any mistakes that you make in the process.

If you do not see your saw listed below, please email me at currentlyrockhounding@gmail.com before purchasing this product.

Compatible Saws:
1. Hi-Tech Diamond 10″ Slab saw.
2. Highland Park Lapidary 10” trim saw
3. Lortone TS10 10″ Trim saw.
4. ToAuto 8″ (200mm) Trim Saw. It does work with this saw. However the thick (0.200″ or 5.10mm) stainless top on this saw is difficult for most people to drill through, and the added thickness means you will need longer mounting hardware, which is not supplied in the kit.

Incompatible Saws:
1. Hi-Tech Diamond 6″ Trim saw.
2. Rock Rascal Model J 6″ Trim Saw

Please watch the short installation guide that best matches your saw before purchasing, since some basic tools are required, and read the FAQ section, as it contains important information.

  1. Donald S Sexauer –

    Love it. Makes such a difference. Great stuff man! Keep ‘em coming!

  2. Jeff Carlton –

    Game changer! The USA 10 is even better than I imagined. I love the simple, intuitive, and aesthetic design. It was a quick, easy install, too. My cuts are now so clean. I had some material I was hanging onto until I felt I was more consistent with neat cuts. I just cut it up super fast using the USA 10, and the cyan were amazing. It’s nice not having to fight the Hi-Tech 10″ saw to keep the blade straight. I definitely recommend getting one!

  3. Andrea Kirman –

    Using the USA on my 10″ Hi Tech lapidary saw. So easy to install and use. Such quality material and craftsmanship. It really puts that plastic fence you get with the saw to shame. Highly recommend!

  4. Rock Betty –

    I thought I was cutting freehand slabs pretty straight until I used this. This allows me to cut a straight even slab. There is no comparison to an eyeballed slab. What a great accessory, this gives me a level of precision I didn’t know was possible. I love it!

FAQs

I usually have the rock on the right. Can the guide set up on the left?
The USA10 can only be mounted on the right side of the blade so that when you're cutting, the slab is falling into your right hand. After extensive polling of people cutting rocks, I found that the majority of people cut slabs this way. If you would like a left-handed one, send me an email, and if there's enough interest in them, I will make some.
Does the Universal Slab Assistant need to be mounted to your stainless accessory top for the Hitech 10" or will it also fit to Hitech's original plastic top holes?
It will fit on the original plastic top without a stainless top over it, but one thing to keep in mind when slabbing with that saw is that the bumpy top often will trap little bits of rock. This causes the rock to hang up some. This will mean that your slabs might not be as perfect as shown in this video. If you want to run it like this, I would suggest frequently cleaning the tabletop to remove bits of rock that might get in your way.
There is excessive play in the black plastic tabletop on my 10" Hi-Tech saw, it rubs on the blade or slides around on the saw body. What do I do to fix it?
Before installing the USA10 on your saw, you should inspect your plastic top for the isolation strips and rubber dots and ensure that it does not slide around side to side when installed on the saw. They are highlighted below, and if they are pushed around, damaged, or missing altogether, your plastic top will have excessive movement, which can cause blade rubbing. You must inspect these regularly.
What tools are required to install this on a saw without any preexisting holes?
You will need a drill, a step bit with an increment of 5/16th, a spring-loaded centerpunch, some scraps of wood, masking tape, and a marker.
