A stone slab saw. A continuous flexible belt is drivingly mounted to a plurality of sheaves rotatably mounted to a frame. A motor belt combination is operable to drive one of the sheaves and move the belt. The frame is vertically movable by a pair of racks and pinions driven by a motor. The belt includes a plurality of abrasive pad holders mounted thereto with each holder including an abrasive pad having an outwardly facing abrasive surface. A guide bar mounted to the frame is in tension guiding the belt along a straight path and providing a rigid backing as the belt is driven and lowered through the block of stone cutting a slab therefrom.
