Fast, accurate slabbing for serious lapidary artists

When you’re ready to take your stone cutting to a professional level, the 18" Covington 700 Series Slab Saw delivers the speed, accuracy, and reliability that transforms your workflow. This machine isn’t just a saw—it’s a production tool built to help you turn rough material into perfect, consistent slabs faster and with less effort.

Key Features

18" Platinum Series Diamond Blade – Designed for heavy-duty, smooth slabbing

Six-Speed Power Feed – Consistent cutting with automatic shutoff

Over-Running Adaptive Clutch – Adapts to hardness changes, protecting blade and stone

Quick-Return Carriage – Reset and reload in moments

Cross-Feed System – Cut up to 8" without reclamping

Powder-Coated Welded Frame – Industrial durability

Maintenance-Free Arbor Bearings – Sealed and greased for life

Fully Assembled – Includes vise, motor, and premium diamond blade

Voltage Options: 220V, 50Hz available

Built for Professional Precision

The immersion-style design continuously lubricates the blade by drawing oil directly from the tank, giving you cooler cuts, straighter lines, and noticeably smoother slab surfaces. Whether you're processing dense agates or softer, mixed-hardness material, every cut feels controlled and consistent.

Lapidaries love this saw because it removes the guesswork. The six-speed power feed maintains an even, predictable cut from start to finish, and the adaptive clutch automatically adjusts to changes in hardness—helping prevent blade damage while keeping your cut on track. The result: cleaner slabs, fewer blowouts, and much less time spent babysitting the cut.

Efficiency That Speeds Up Your Workflow

The cross-feed design lets you cut up to 8 inches of material without re-clamping, meaning fewer interruptions and dramatically faster stone processing days. Combine that with the quick-return system, and you're back in position for the next cut in seconds—not minutes.

If you're producing material for cabbing, resale, or large-scale projects, this saw gives you the repeatability and throughput you need to keep your shop moving.

Crafted for Heavy Use

Covington builds the 700 Series to handle real, daily shop demands:

  • Fully welded, powder-coated chassis that resists corrosion and holds alignment over years of use
  • Rigid X-pattern strengthening rib that keeps the tank square and leak-free
  • Reliable steel hood prop arm for easy loading and unloading
  • One-piece arbor and flange with greased-for-life ball bearings for smooth, low-maintenance operation

Every detail is engineered to help you spend more time cutting and less time maintaining equipment.

Who This Saw Is For

The 18" model is ideal for cutters who need a machine that’s powerful enough for large agates, jaspers, petrified wood, and most medium-sized rough—but want something more compact and efficient than the very large oil saws.

If you’re a serious hobbyist, part-time cutter, or small production shop looking for precision and speed in one rugged machine, this is the sweet spot.
