How to choose trim saws
A trim saw uses a smaller blade, typically around 6 inches, and cuts slabs down into cabochon blanks, trims away flaws and cuts small pieces. The thin blade wastes little material, which matters when working with valuable rough.
Check the vise (it holds small stones while you feed them into the blade), whether the saw is built for rock or for glass, and the blade size. A trim saw with a power feed gives more consistent cuts.
