The Slab’asaurus

10/01/2026

UPDATE!!!

Well this process has taken much longer than anticipated, and I was starting to get a bit worried with some of the issues we were encountering with parts from the new machine shop. But Kris the new owner has been great to work with, and has stood behind their and addressed and fixed every issue we have encountered. We finally have all the part in house, and I’ve been working every day after I get off work, assembling vises to make sure they pass quality control and are ready to ship out.

I understand this has taken much longer than any of us wanted, but I’d like to say thank you for everyone’s continued support and patience.

We have started shipping and hope to have all existing orders shipped no later than October 9th.
All vises will now ship pre-assembled and ready to use right out of the box.

There has been some questions about how tight the nut shout be tightened on the Slab’asaurus. The quick answer is, tighter than you think! But material type, shape, and holding screw length are also contributing factors. The great thing about the Slab’asaurus; is how forgiving it is; don’t be afraid to tighten it down a little bit more.

The Slab’asaurus is capable of holding thinner rocks so they can be cut for the largest face. Here are a couple examples of recently held and cut rocks.

Even smooth tumbled rocks like Montana /Yellowstone agates; as well as thin rocks, are no challenge for the Slab’asaurus. You would never be able to hold rocks and cut them in this orientation, in a standard slab saw vise.

An additional benefit of using the Slab’asaurus, is that you can sometimes fit a larger rock into your saw, then what your saws vise is capable of holding. This petrified wood/stromatolite piece was much larger than what my 16” saws vise could hold; not to mention the odd shape that wouldn’t work in a standard saw vise.
