[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 452441, member: 10304"] What lubricant are you using? Some blades overheat with water and need oil, also the blade compound has an impact, hard stone needs a soft compound and soft stone needs the opposite. Hard compounds on hard stones skate and overhead badly resulting in more pressure being applied causing thin blades to distort. Sometimes you can see the heat effect on things like Agate when doing thin cuts, the translucency allows you to see the cutting contact point and it can be white hot with the wrong lub and or blade compound.
