I was watching curves being cut in granite and marble tiles on a wet saw in one pass. The wet saw had a new blade that was curved shaped that made this cut work. The video was on you tube and the blade was called the Arcus Blade. Has anyone tried it yet?

Not I, I can do it with my grinder or small wet diamond circular saw, no dust, then clean the edge with grinding stones and polishing pads.

Oh yeh Bill, I have done several undermount sinks now with the DL. I would not touch them before. Love it, love it.

Wanna hear the funny part? I've yet to use it for that, although I'm sure it'd make it a whole lot easier! I probably will with the next one! The only time I've used the DL for something that sublime was cutting the slate in the following pic: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/Bill_Vincent/Flaherty015-1.jpg

WOW Bill, That's weird! A nifty idea I suppose but non-the-less weird. I suppose that's a winter time boot drop?

Nope-- A spot to set a small wood stove. Just above and out of frame is the pipe leading to the flue. [Edited by Bill Vincent* on Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 8:15 pm EST]*

Said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.
