Thats often best done with diamond saw blades, running them wet to control the heating that if not controlled, will ablate the diamond until its too dull to cut. A wet tile saw, would be a decent start. And a thumbler for finish polish. > good fodder for daydreaming. :) Don't knock that, creativity, if not used, tends to go away. Even at my age I still have an occasional flash of an idea. My problem is in getting it committed to code, or at least a paper outline, before the candle flames meet in the middle. When that happens, its both frustrating, and time for what passes for a beer around my place. Because I'm also a DM-II, that reduces to miller 64. Select 55 has been thru the horse 2 or 3 more times, and comes in alu cans in these here parts. That takes it off the table as I haven't willingly drunk from an alu can in 40 years. The connection between the alu can and the alzheimers epidemic is way too strong for me. > > songbird -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
