["John Hollis" <CARVNMARBLE@zzzzzzzzzzzz>]

Hello Norman, I have had the blade hang many times and this is usually
because I work in a hurried frenzy and any movement, even slight, may cause
the blade to bind.  The "fly-wheel" action of the blade causes the grinder
to stall and jump. Several years ago I was working on the federal building
in Oklahoma City and I had to take four inches off of a very large section
of the carving.  I used a regular "skill-saw" that I cobbled with a carbide
blade and made long cuts, - (four inch deep and four inch apart),  and then
picthed off one to the next. This was bedford limestone and this worked
quite well.  - J. Kinder Hollis
