[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 48937, member: 1916"] Like the way you think knigsy, have one in a box in the shed, if it can be modified to accept a bigger blade it should do the trick on a very slow feed rate. I am glad it is on your 2014 project list, mine is full up. As an alternative I have been thinking I may be able to cut double the thickness by using plasticine, a bit of Perspex on top of the rock, flip it over for a second cut. Then grind the imperfect cut flat, as I am sure it would be far from matching perfectly. But hey I like to dodgy things a bit. If you come across an ultra-thin replacement blade I would be interested to see how it goes on trimming the initial dop face on a sapphire. Keep us posted on your progress 8) [/QUOTE]
