Dear Sergio: I have not tried my stone carving methods and tools with slate, so I don't know how well it works. I use high speed diamond burrs and discs. These work very well with marble, sandstone, limestone and flagstone, but not granite.
I will send you an e-mail attachment of my stoneworking article soon. If I can be of further help, just let me know.
