Has anyone used a Skilsaw to cut Marble?
Have a Risso Wetsaw but someone stole the sliding table.
Only have ~20 cuts and 150.00 for a new table seems ridiculous.

thanks -

it should work. i use one to cut down granite slabs. use a diamond blade.

however: the dust will kill it. put a heavy fan near you and blow the dust
away from the saw. do this outside. also, breathing the dust could give you
silicosis.

it's much safer to do this using some sort of wet saw.

Just run the water hose across the skill saw blade and marble.

"Wikipedia ... it reminds me ... of dogs barking idiotically through
endless nights. It is so bad that a sort of grandeur creeps into it.
It drags itself out of the dark abyss of pish, and crawls insanely up
the topmost pinnacle of posh. It is rumble and bumble. It is flap and
doodle. It is balder and dash."
