    That's a GREAT way to measure slabs! I have a 20" 1970-ish Highland Park slab saw that I use to cut slabs for light switch plates. I usually cut them quite thick but this quick measurement should help me out a lot. Thanks again!

  • @AZRockhoundExpeditions

    I know the guy who made those! Yay! I’m glad his product is getting out there! That’s pretty awesome!

    That is an incredibly easy fix to an age old dilemma with slab cutting! There are just times when almost is not good enough and for your project you have to have more exact, and so you tend to have to cut twice as many slabs as you need, and hope you have enough that are of uniform size. This is incredibly handy, and incredibly simple! I love it! The fact that they 3D printed it with a magnet in it is super cool and I didn't know you could even do that! But to think up this product In the first place, is so awesome! And you are correct, $30 for a full set of these is incredibly fair priced, for a product that fixes an age old problem with slab saws! Thanks for bringing this product to our attention Jared!

    Lapidary gizmos and gadgets are much needed. Nice review.

    What a great idea. My wife bought me a 3d printer for my birthday. I had been interested in one for a while and mentioned it after watching your interview with the older gentleman who had a few running in his shop. He inspired me to learn FreeCad and really get into it for 3d printing.

  • @RockyMountainBear

    Such a great idea. The possibilities are endless with a 3D printer.

  • @Mike-br8vb

    Nice little tool to make cuts precise!

  • @graemero5532

    Simple, but clever idea.

    I love these guides so simple i`m getting the 1/4" for sure thanks Jared.

  • @cliffmiller1021

    Nice little time saver. Looks thought out well enough.

  • @grantfahlman1815

    Jared, thanks for sharing this with your viewers. I think it's quite impressive... and my saw isn't even on the sloppy side! 😉 For that price, the time saved in measuring each slap definitely makes it worthwhile.

    I have a set of these from the same vendor. They really are that easy to use.

    Just rather ingenious those gauges are.. Here's whats been on my "Experiment with.." Wishlist. Recently read that a bone is about a 5+ on the MOHS scale, and if it's frozen it goes as high as a 6. I've been a bandsaw affectionado for many years as a tool on many projects. I'm surprised there isn't a lot of devices in the Lapidary world incorporating such. After much research I found that there are these Bone cutting bandsaws for the frozen food industry, and they really zip through those bones at a good speed. Always wanted to see (since they can be washed out with water/disinfectants), if they might be suitable for 6+ (& below) rocks. most have a full 8 - 10" size to cut with.. Anywho... I'm always trying to find out-of-the-box ideas that might work in other areas, thats why a Bone-Saw has possibilities (to me).

    Nice idea. Everybody needs a little something to supply to the industry.
