The Diamond Pacific TR-36 slab saw is designed for commercial and industrial lapidary use, providing anyone wanting to cut large pieces of rock with a heavy duty reliable rock saw. Built to handle large and heavy pieces of rock, these saws are also widely used in industry for other applications like cutting concrete and asphalt specimens for testing in construction projects, slicing core samples in the oil industry, geological specimens, etc. The biggest, baddest saw around... you must be taking this seriously.
The standard TR-Series slab saws are designed for lapidary use. For other industrial or commercial uses modifications must be made to the saws. For anyone with such special requirements, just provide us with your specifications and we will give you a quote on building a saw to fit your particular need.
For all its size, the Model TR-36 saw is easy to operate and provides professional cutters of gem material, glass, and core samples with reliable performance cut-after-cut.
- Powerglide Hydraulic Feed System pushes rock to blade for steady cutting. Set the pressure and feed at a constant positive pressure. A power-return feature returns the carriage after a slice completes.
