Slab Saws
Slab
saws allow you to slice large pieces of cabbing rough into slabs. They have
larger diameter blades than trim saws,
and the blades also tend to be thicker
than those used on trim saws. The extra blade thickness helps increase cutting
speed.
We carry saws that will accommodate blades
10" on up. We only sell saws by Covington Engineering . For
10" saws, click here. Covington
Slab/Trim Saws: |
CS Series Covington Slab/Trim Saws Covington
makes industrial quality machinery at a price hobbyists can afford. Covington
CS series combination slab and trim saws are not only versatile, they're the best
you can get. All CS series saws come with a fine notched rim blade, and
can be ordered with optional power feed and/or leg stand. Please
specify if you want weight feed or power feed and if you require a leg stand. |   |
| These saws are light enough (for a slab saw) to be easily moved.
They are quickly converted from slab saw to a trim saw with the included drop-in
trim table. All CS series saws come with heavy duty sawmill type carriage
glides on steel ways. The rigid grip vise has a steel jaw tongue that contacts
the full length of the vise. This holds the the jaw square so it can't bind.
The vise has a 4" cross feed capacity that adjusts 1/16" per turn for uniform
slabbing. Instead of the power feed for slabbing, you can use a weight feed
action with scales, cord and a weight fastened to the vise table.
We
suggest purchasing two 5 gallon buckets of Rockhound
Oil with the CS Series saws. |
