Our Highland Park Style Slab Saws and other lapidary tools are manufactured with this same commitment to quality and performance - at prices affordable to the beginner or the seasoned professional. Our first saw (acquired when we were age 10) was made by Highland Park Manufacturing and we greatly admire and respect the pioneering work they did in creating quality lapidary equipment that still can be found in operation today. We started manufacturing the Highland Park Style Slab Saw because we believe this design is the very best. We think a big reason for this is that equipment is simply too expensive and often too poorly built to enable a new enthusiast to be successful. Over the last 20 years we’ve seen the lapidary industry in the US shrink in size as less and less people have come into the hobby. Simple stated, our equipment is Built to Last a Lifetime™.

We design all our products in our shop in Texas and manufacture them in our factory in China staffed with our own employees who we personally manage to insure the highest quality every step of the way.
