cutting sandstone

[<shawnpower@zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz>]

Hi all, cutting sandstone is definetly easier, safer and more effective when
done wet, sandstone may not be hard, but because of its make up, its very
abrasive, I have to disagree with Simons rule of thumb, its been my
experience that when buying blades for cutting stone, the softer the stone,
the harder the matrix, the harder the stone the softer the matrix, because
cutting a harder stone requires new diamonds to be exposed more quickly to
continue the cutting action, the softer stones, because of their make up
don't require the exposure of new diamonds as quickly as a harder stone
does, keeping in mind that there is usually a varying degree of hardness
within a single piece of stone, alot of the time its a trial and error
process to match blades to stone, and everybody usually has a method that
they find works best for them, thanks and remember...seven days without
stone...makes one weak.
