Always remember to wear protective eye goggles when cutting any hard surface with a stonesaw as flying debris/chips can cause serious damage and injury. A good quality dust mask is also needed to protect the lungs from harmful dust.

Most trade users of stone saws tend to go for diamond blades for the cutting of hard products although cheaper carbon blades are available although they dont have the cutting life span and a quickness of cutting that a diamond blade will provide.
