HT14 SLAB SAW
The Highland Park HT14 Slab saw is a precision lapidary machine that is used to produce slabs of lapidary gemstone material.
When properly used it is capable of producing slabs that are very consistent in thickness and surface condion. When used with
the proper blade and cung uid your saw will produce uniformly at smooth cut.
Today, with higher prices of ne lapidary material it is especially important that all cuts be uniform and high quality. One ad-
vantage of a 14” slab saw over a much larger machine is that the width of the blade is much less. This means that less of your ma-
terial will be lost due to the width of the blade.
This Owner’s Manual will give you all the instrucons required to begin using your new slab saw safely and eciently to profession-
ally cut any smaller lapidary rough material.

WHEN YOUR NEW HT14 SLAB SAW ARRIVES
Your new slab saw will arrive assembled, however the motor ships separately and will be installed once you set up your machine.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Lapidary saws MUST have coolant added prior to operaon. Your saw is not shipped with cung oil in-
stalled in the saw box. You must add this according to these instrucons prior to operaon.
Prior to operaon please do a quick check to conrm all the necessary items are included. This will also serve to begin to familiar-
ize you with the various operang parts of the saw:
• Check for any shipping damage to the shipping box or saw itself. If none is found proceed with vericaon checks. If physical
damage is found to the saw please contact us immediately and note it if signing for the receipt of shipment.
• Visually inspect your saw for any loose fasteners or damage. Your saw was carefully assembled and quality checked prior to
shipment, however, during shipment and handling somemes rough treatment can cause loosening of fastener. It is a good
pracce to visually inspect your machine as you are using it periodically to noce any potenal issues.
• Please read this operang manual thoroughly prior to operaon of the saw. It is very important that you understand the oper-
aon of your new saw, safeguards, and proper operaon before proceeding to actual use of the machine. Failure to read and
understand the operang instrucons could result in unsafe operaon and damage to the machine and may result in voiding
• Your new saw arrives assembled, but you will need to install the motor and blade as you set I it up on your workbench.
• Aer unpacking the saw, you will need to connect the motor power cord to the right side of the switch box. With the saw un-
plugged, insert the motor power cord plug into the outlet on the right side of the switch box which is mounted on the front of
the saw.

MOTOR INSTALLATION
This saw has a 1/2 HP, 1750 RPM motor with a size
NEMA 56 frame.
1. Unbox the motor and then remove the two screws on
the back of the saw motor mount bracket
2. Place each end of the belt over the arbor pulley and the
arbor pulley, then align the top edge of the motor plate
to the motor mount bracket and put the screws thru
the slots on the motor plate back into the motor mount
bracket.
3Use a straight edge to align the pulleys by sliding the
motor to the le or right and then ghten the two
screws into the motor mount bracket.
4. Adjust the two belt tension bolts on the lower part of
the motor plate to obtain the correct belt tension.
5. Do not overghten the belt as this can cause unneces-
sary bearing wear.
BELT GUARD INSTALLATION
1. Place belt guard over the belt, motor pulley, and frame
2. Install the two mounng screws and ghten securely.

SECURE MOUNTING OF THE HT14 SLAB SAW
The HT14 slab saw, for safety and proper operaon must set on a strong and secure table or workbench. The work surface should
be at and level. A level work top is important so that coolant uid in the saw box is uniform depth.
The physical strength of the work table or bench is important since the saw weighs approximately 140 pounds without oil or rock
included. A powerful 1/2 H.P. motor powers the saw. While the machine is very well balanced for smooth operaon, some vibra-
on will be present during operaon. For these reasons please be certain that the mounng surface is strong enough to support
your machine.
COOLANT REQUIRED FOR PROPER OPERATION
A low viscosity (5 to 7cst) mineral oil cung uid is required to
properly cut any stone on your automac feed slabbing saw.
Your HT14 Slab Saw does not include oil. It’s a good idea to or-
der 5 gallons of oil with your saw inially.
We recommend Highland Park HPCool Cut™ which is a high-
performance odorless, high purity mineral oil cung uid. De-
veloped originally for our own commercial producon cung
operaon, HPCool Cut™ reduces cung force and runs cooler
for precise cung performance with longer machine and blade
life. Ideal for glass and stone cung and grinding, this oil is also
non-toxic. Food grade or veterinary grade mineral oils are gener-
ally not idea for lapidary use because they have a much thicker
viscosity of about 15 to 18cst which will cause higher motor load
and increase cung force because the thicker oil does not ush
the cut as well.
Your saw will require approximately 1 1/3 gallons of cung oil
for the inial ll
As you operate the saw some oil will be lost in normal opera-
on as some of it will cling to the stones as they are removed
from the saw aer cung. For this reason it is important that
you periodically check the level of oil on the saw blade to con-
rm proper oil depth is present.
Oil is added by simply pouring it into the saw box.
(Make sure that the drain plug is in place before adding oil)
You can add one gallon before beginning to check the oil level
on the blade. Aer one gallon has been added connue to
add oil while monitoring the level on the blade. Your target is
to have the boom of the blade immersed ½” into the oil ini-
ally and to MAINTAIN THIS LEVEL during the use of the saw.
If you do not have sucient oil, it can cause the blade and the
stone to get overheated and damage one or both. Addional-
ly, it is not good to overll the saw too much as this can cause
oil to leak out onto the oor.
Highland Park HT14 Owner’s Manual | 5 ©2021 Highland Park Lapidary Company
You may nd it helpful to carefully turn the blade a bit by hand
to conrm the oil level
Even with the Highland Park SAFE START SYSTEM
(descripon later in this manual) guarding against accidental
start-up of the saw, we recommend that you unplug the unit
prior to adding oil or in any way manipulang the blade by
hand.
Your oil can be reused
To reuse your oil it rst must be removed from the saw box.
To do this remove the drain cap on the front pan of the ma-
chine. Be sure to have a large enough bucket or other con-
tainer under the plug when it is opened. Allow all oil to drain
from the machine. Then use a spatula or puy knife to move
sediments from the saw box via the drain. Remove all possi-
ble material from the saw box. You may wish to use a small
squeegee to get all material. Also wipe down interior parts of
the saw such as vise and carriage that may have a coang of
sediment.
Your oil in the saw should be changed periodically
to insure proper lubricaon
More frequent oil changes will result in longer blade life,
cooler cung, less need for blade dressing, and less messi-
ness in operaon of the saw. Oil should be changed when it
is signicantly discolored and has begun to get a thicker con-
sistency. Oil should never be allowed to have the consistency
of pudding.
Used HPCut™ oil may be set aside so that solids can sele out
with clear oil on the top
Pung the oil in a 5 gallon pail is good for allowing the sedi-
ment to sele out. Aer several days of seling the clear oil
can be poured o back into the saw. Be sure to add addional
new or seled oil to insure proper oil level on the blade. If
this method is used you may want to consider having twice
the amount of oil needed for operaon on hand at all
mes….half in the saw and half on standby for when the oil is
changed.
Used HPCut™ oil may be set aside so that solids can sele out
with clear oil on the top. Return of the oil to original one gal-
lon shipping jugs works well for this. Aer several days of
seling the clear oil can be poured o back into the saw. Be
sure to add addional new or seled oil to insure proper oil
level on the blade.
Keep in mind that eventually some oil will have to be discard-
ed that cannot be separated from sediments produced by
rock cung. This will require making up the lost quanty of
oil so having extra on hand is a good pracce so that your
cung will not be interrupted.
You may also lter the oil instead of allowing it to sele. Var-
ious materials can be used as lters including paper grocery
bags or even large coee lters. Filtering is usually faster
than allowing sediments in the oil to sele. However, it can
also be more messy.
When oil/sediment can no longer be seled or ltered to pro-
duce usable clean oil it must be discarded.
The oil can be discarded according to state guidelines for dis-
posal of mineral oil.
Highland Park HT14 Owner’s Manual | 6 ©2021 Highland Park Lapidary Company
SAFETY WARNING!
You must use only HPCut™ saw coolant or equivalent mineral oil from another source. Never use kerosene or any other am-
mable petroleum based coolant such as diesel fuel or home heang oil. Using such liquids can result in re, skin irritaon, or
other health problems. Highland Park Lapidary is not responsible for adverse consequences that may arise as a result of using
unapproved materials as saw coolant.
Addionally, do not use Automove Anfreeze, CNC machining uids or Automac Transmission uid as coolant in your saw.
These liquids are not suitable for lapidary work and my cause damage to your machine.
When using any mineral oil coolant, you should avoid breathing the ne oil mist present when the saw is opened aer a cut is
completed.
You must not use water as coolant for this saw even with addives. Water does not provide sucient lubricaon of the blade
as it cuts. Use of water also does not provide adequate lubricaon for carriage movement or the feed mechanism. Use of
water may cause excessive heat and damage to blade and/or material and will also result in rusng of key components re-
gardless of claims of the addives. The warranty on this saw will be voided if water or water soluble oils are used as a cung
coolant.
DIAMOND BLADE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Periodically you should sharpen your blade. When cung hard materials somemes the diamonds on the edge of the blade will
get rounded over and polished. Sharpening the blade with our recommended technique will revitalize the cung edge of the blade
without diminishing blade life. A periodic schedule of blade sharpening will insure that you do not have adverse performance or
damage to your blade during operaon.
We recommend that you sharpen your blade every ten to twenty hours of actual cung me depending upon sizes of rocks being
cut and their hardness. Larger rocks that present more contact area to the blade will result in needing more frequent blade sharp-
ening. Harder rocks also result in the necessity to sharpen the blade more frequently than soer stones.
Performance also can give you indicaons of the need to sharpen the blade. The cung eciency of blades that need to be sharp-
ened will diminish. This oen results in the saw sounding dierent when cung: indicaon may be slowing of the blade rpm, la-
boring of the saw, or unusual or changed sound from the saw. Failure to sharpen the blade may result in failure to cut or that the
stone may be dislodged from the vise. This can also cause dishing or warpage of the blade, damage to the feed mechanism, or oth-
er outcomes that can damage the machine.
To sharpen your blade, see our video on YouTube for our method of sharpening: hps://www.youtube.com/watch?

BLADE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
SAFETY WARNING!
Be sure to unplug machine prior to removing and replacing blade.
Eventually even properly used diamond blades will wear out and need to be replaced. Replacing a worn out or damaged blade is
accomplished by removal of the saw arbor nut. This nut is a right and thread and loosens by turning it counterclockwise looking at
the sha from the right hand side. Be sure to use a good wrench that will provide secure contact with the nut, this will prevent
damage to the arbor nut.
The blade may be held by hand as the arbor nut is loosened. You must be careful to not put side force on the blade, only holding it
to prevent rotaon. If this method does not allow removal of the arbor nut then remove the arbor belt guard. Once the belt guard
is removed you can hold the belt or arbor pulley as you apply force to the arbor nut. Do not get any saw oil on either the arbor belt
or pulley.
When you replace the blade make certain that the blade surfaces that will contact the anges are clean and that the anges are
clean and undamaged as you install the blade. Put the blade bushing into the blade, laying it on a at surface and tapping the
bushing into place with a rubber mallet then carefully put the blade onto the arbor. If you have trouble keeping the bushing in the
blade, then you can put the bushing onto the arbor sha and then carefully posion the blade onto the arbor sha aligning it with
the bushing. Put the outer ange onto the arbor sha next and then reinstall the arbor nut making certain that the threads are
clean and oiled on the sha and inside the nut. Any clean new oil will suce for this and insure ease of removal of the nut in the
future. When the nut is up against the ange , then rotate the snug it lightly at rst and rotate the arbor sha to be sure that the
blade is seated with the bushing in the center before fully ghtening the arbor nut. When you are sure that the blade is seated
properly, then you can ghten the arbor nut. You can hold the blade to ghten the arbor nut, however if the nut does not fully
ghten, then you will need to hold the pulley or sha to insure that the arbor nut is properly ghtened.

OPERATION OF THE HT14
• Be certain the saw is secure on work table or
bench.
• Install motor belt and belt guard
• Install diamond blade.
• Conrm proper oil level in the saw box.
• Close hood.
• Conrm power switch in o posion.
• Plug in electrical cable.
Checklist prior to saw operaon:
Now you are ready to clamp and cut your rst rock on your new HT14 slab saw by following these steps:
1. Open the hood.
2. Disengage the carriage feed lever from the carriage drive screw. This lever is near the back right corner of the carriage, it
is pulled forward to disengage the carriage feed allowing the carriage to be moved manually. It must be held forward to
move the carriage, but only pull the lever far enough to disengage the feed nut, pulling it forward more than necessary
will only begin to stretch the feed engagement spring. Now you can pull the carriage forward to the front of the saw. This
is the proper posion of the carriage for loading a new rock to be cut.
3. Select your rough material to be cut. Rough Lapidary material varies considerably in size and shape. This results in con
siderable dierences rock to rock in the ease or diculty of securing the rock in the vise for cung. Rocks that are dicult
to secure in the vise include those with very smooth rounded surfaces. It is helpful to have on hand a variety of wood
shims to assist in clamping rocks in any slab saw vise. Carpenter’s wood shim material works very well for this as it pro
vides “crush” to assist in conforming rocks to the saw vise and providing more contact area between the vise surfaces and
the rock. Such shim material should be cut in shorter than supplied lengths for use in shimming rocks for slabbing.
The maximum size rock that can be cut on your HT14 slabs saw is 4.5” X 7”. However, when cung rocks that are near
the maximum size you must check for clearance of the rock to insure that as the cut proceeds the rock does not contact
the arbor nut or ange.
4. To cut slabs from your rough material the cross feed of the vise should be moved to the maximum righthand posion to
the right of the blade by turning the handle counter clockwise. The handle is on the far right of the carriage/vise assem
bly. The maximum cross feed on the HT14 is 4.5”.
• Unscrew the thumb screws allowing the top bar on the vise
to be raised to accommodate the rock to be cut. Posion
the rock so that the inial cut will remove the minimum
amount from the end of the rock to produce a smooth sur-
face. Lower the slab vise bar so that it contacts the rock and
ghten the thumb screws securely. Add shim material if
necessary to provide secure contact between the rock and
the clamping surfaces of the vise.
Advancing the cross feed aer each cut is nished is what will allow you to produce slabs of your material.
Highland Park HT14 Owner’s Manual | 9 ©2021 Highland Park Lapidary Company
• You should not be able to move the rock in the vise aer
ghtening. If the rock moves you must ghten the thumb
screws more OR reposion the rock OR insert shim mate-
rial between the rock and bar to provide more secure con-
tact. This is especially important in clamping rocks to be
cut that have single points of contact with the bar. It may
be necessary to use pliers or another tool to ghten the
thumb screws.
• Once the rock is secure and cannot be moved by hand
pressure you are almost ready to begin the cut. The next
step is to posion the rock nearer the blade. To do this
disengage the carriage feed lever and, while holding the
lever in the up posion, carefully move the enre carriage
toward the blade stopping when the rock is about ¼ inch
from the blade. Be careful not to abruptly move the car-
riage toward the blade causing the rock to hit the blade.
This can damage the blade if you hit the blade hard with
the stone.
• Next adjust the automac cut o chain allowing sucient
travel of the carriage to cut completely through the rock.
Also, inspect the posioning of the rock carefully to insure
that at the maximum cung posion it does not come in
contact with the arbor nut or ange. Look underneath the
carriage at the posion of the rock in relaon to the arbor
nut and ange. Be sure to check for possible overhangs in
the rock where the rock may extend below the level of the
oor of the vise. Careful judgment must always be used
to insure that contact does not occur between the rock
and the arbor nut or ange. Such contact could severely
damage the machine and can potenally void the warran-
ty.
• You should also check the surface of the rock that will
make rst contact with the blade. If the blade is perpen-
dicular to the rock surface at rst contact then the cut can
be started without further concerns. If, however, the rock
surface curves away from the plane of the blade deec-
on of the blade may occur as the cut is started. This de-
econ can cause the cut to start into the rock signicant-
ly out of the plane of the blade. This can result in blade or
machine damage.
• In cases of sloping surfaces on the rock in relaon to the
blade the procedure is somewhat dierent. In these cases
the cut will be started and contact allowed to be made
between rock and blade for a very short me of 10 or 15
seconds inially. Aer this shut o the saw, open the
hood, withdraw the carriage to ¼ inch from the blade and
repeat the short contact between blade and rock as the
saw runs. This procedure will cause a “notch” to be cut
into the sloping surface of the rock. Aer 2-4 cycles this
notch will be sucient to allow you to start the saw and
allow it to run without deecon of the blade.
• To start the cut conrm that the rock is posioned ¼ inch
from the blade. The cut must not begin with the blade in
contact with the rock. Check the oil level to conrm about
1/2 inch of immersion of the blade in the oil.
• Then close the hood and insure that the power cord is
plugged into the power source. This source should be
equipped with a GFI ( Ground Fault Interrupter). You are
ready to start the machine.
• Your saw is equipped with the “Safe Start System” that
reduces the risk of accidental start up of the saw. Before
starng the saw, always make sure that the blade turns
freely and is not touching the stone. To start the saw,
close the hood, set the auto shuto toggle switch in the
on posion ( toward the front of the saw ) and then push
and release the green start buon. The saw will start and
run as long as the toggle switch is in the on posion.
When the toggle switch is turned o manually or by the
auto shut o chain the green buon must be pushed
again to restart the saw. This feature protects against
accidental movement of the toggle switch to the on posi-
on when you are loading or unloading your cung piece.

• The green buon is part of a safety interlock control that
works when the saw is started. It is not designed and
does not funcon as an emergency o switch. If the saw
must be stopped for any reason then the toggle switch
must be moved to the o posion.
