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!

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.

Nice little time saver. Looks thought out well enough.

Ording mine now! Thanks for sharing!

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!

Lapidary gizmos and gadgets are much needed. Nice review.

Nifty tools to have!

Simple yet brilliant. Thanks

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

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

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).

Support for the channel!

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.

Nice little tool to make cuts precise!

Simple, but clever idea.

I like those. I have visions of starting up my saw with one still stuck to the blade.

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

What a clever product.

Still trying to get my old saw in working order without the blade wobble. After running through potential problems, I think it's a bent shaft. Probably from the previous owner getting a rock jammed in it... I was thinking of cutting out my own set slab template from metal. But with all the projects going on this seems like a good quick solution. Thanks Jarod!

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

It's a good idea! Very clever. Thanks for sharing.

what a smart design!!!

Eeey! Glad to see that kyanite, sorry to leave you hangin on the last convo. When I made something with its brother slab I had pits in it that wouldn't seem to go away and caught the polish. If you ever work with it tell me if you got similar troubles. Also I need that doohickey now, the sizing on my slabs is all over the place.

what a great product

Thanks for sharing sir! That's a great find and an excellent way to simplify for those who need it IMO.👍 (although I personally would rather metric than decimal/sae). Those will definitely be of help for me personally on my 18" slab saw which I need to make a new splitnut gate for the driveshaft in the near future.😢😢 The 12" slab saw has been really good IMO and moves almost exactly 1mm per rotation of the carriage nut. (I like to use 6mm cuts for slabs) Thankfully I have had almost no "play" in the that part yet and have been able to get as little as 2mm on a cut trying for iris effect. Anyway, thanks for scouring the internet for all things rock related to impart on us nerdy Tubers~ Have a nice day!

Neat idea!

Hi Jared, I’ve been a bit busy for a while so haven’t caught up with your videos. This is an interesting little tool for the saw. Might be time to put a shim on your saw to take some of that play out of the table adjuster. Hope all is going well for you. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin

Acetone and ethyl acetate are great bonding solvents for PLA. That means you can use nail polish remover or M.E.K. substitute, found at ACE hardware.

Thank you bro I love this channel🎉

Thanks!

Cool.

I am a product designer with access to a maker space with a cnc, laser cutter, 3d printer, etc. What kind of lapidary gadgets/products are you in need of? Maybe a better way of asking is what kind of tool would help you save time? I've seen shape templates are common enough. Any custom shape requests? Didn't see any obelisk templates, but not sure if those are in need.

Hey, you seem to be very knowledgeable about rocks. I was wondering if I could send you one. I need help to identify its banded pink, but it comes several different variations of pink and even an orange color

Would anyone find a metric set useful?
