My two favorite saws are a fourteen inch 1964 Highland Park and a 18 in. 1970’s Highland Park. I also run the lapidary shop for our rock club, which has five saws- a brand new (12 months) Highland Park 14 auto feed, an old Lortone 14in., another older Highland park 18in. and a couple trim saws.
kent. Highland Park B 12 upgrade. This has been the greatest of combo machines since my father purchased it some 45 years ago. I cleaned it up a while ago, made a plexiglass cover for the saw with an opening for my arm for trim work. The latest improvement was for the expando wheel I use so much. It now has it own water supply and a means to ...

It's an early Old Highland Park. Not to be confused with the recent imports. At the shop I took measurements and forgot to get one, so I went out to the shed to measure the wife's 10". Within a inch would have been good enough. Surprisingly, her saw was Old Highland Park too, but newer.
I've been cutting smaller beach rocks open and making cabs out of them for a bit now, but have found my 7" tile saw to be of limited use for this.

I have recently purchased an early edition LS12 that had an old but functioning blade. I cut a few rocks and the blade got duller, stalling the motor. I decided to try the sharpening method demonstrated on Highland Park's videos. I probably did not contact the blade at a perfect perpendicular angle and maybe used too much force as well.
