First saw
« on: December 22, 2016, 12:40:13 PM »
I am looking to get my first piece lapidary equipment.  I am looking at the cabmate from graves.   I am just looking at cutting small stones or a slab I get from someone else.  I'm wondering if it would be good for a beginner or is there something that is a little more versatile for a little more money.  Any and all inpute will be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have any information on the graves combination machine.  Did it do what you wanted, how is the customer service.   Your over all opinion of the machine compared to the lortone.  I am also looking at the Rock rascal they all seem similar.  Right now it is between those three machines.  Mostly for economic reasons. Thanks for the help.

The Rock Rascals are good little machines. I have 3 of the little saws right now for winter rebuild projects. The vise for the saw leaves a lot to be desired, but if you're not going to slab rocks, they're a good little trim saw.
