[QUOTE="Pat Hogen, post: 552252, member: 11720"] What is shown is a trim saw, way different to a slab saw. The tile saw shown is fine for trimming small pieces of stone as long as a thin sintered diamond blade is used, which are relatively inexpensive as long as they are kept clean and unclogged. Using the blade on corundum or harder stones like jade is going to wear your sinter down fairly quickly. Do not force not force your stone through, allow the blade to cut at a fast rate using plenty of either mineral oil and/or CRC in water (stops the blades from rusting). Aussie Sapphire . com is useful for these blades. [/QUOTE]
