[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 425478, member: 10304"] I have one of these: [url]https://www.aussiesapphire.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=86_147&products_id=2446&zenid=2a6a4201f937100b52f88fc0814e988d[/url]. It is basically a re-badged tile saw supplied with a fine cutting blade for stone and gems. It's in-expensive and works well. One thing to remember when cutting is let the blade do the work and don't force it to try and cut faster than it is capable, diamond will cut at it's own rate not because of the force you put on it, force damages everything and causes accidents. This is particularly important with fine blades, gently..gently.. We don't do much stone as out interest is gems and we use it to cut everything from quartz to sapphire plus CZ, nano and anything else we come across. [/QUOTE]
