How To Cut Pizza Stone

Rascal

Any clues, please?

I would use a 4" angle grinder with a stone cutting wheel. You might find the wheel in Big Orange or Blue. Near the ceramic tiles.

I used a stationary belt sander. Having the device stationary helped. A drill press with a sanding wheel in it would have worked also. I wished I had one of those table sanders like I see on Ask Norm on PBS. The tube type that also moves up and down.

"clay q" (i hope that is right), posted that he used some type of grinder, wore full face protection and a coat and ended up with dust all over his backyard.... his whole rig turned out fantastic looking though.

sounded like a job for someone who really knows what they are doing.

sounds like i need to find someone who does it and pay them for one....

First, I have not tried using one of these but it should work as it's made for ceramic and tile. If you have a good jig saw try a ceramic blade such as this.

Any good brand that fits your saw (if you have one)should work.



Good Luck,

If you're trying to make a straight cut a circular saw with a masonary blade will work fine. If you don't want the dust, have a helper with a garden hose spray the leading edge of the blade while you're cutting.

(Disclaimer: the above recommendation of water and an electric power tool is only for those with enough intelligence, dexterity, and skill to do without drenching the entire saw, spraying the plug connection, etc. :evil: )

If the above concerns you, you can wet the stone well before cutting. It won't be as effective, but will certainly be better than dry.

If you're cutting an arc or other shape, use a grinder with a diamond blade and wet the stone.

The dust will play heck with the motor of the sander.

The blades are available in the ceramic tile section of Home Depot and Lowes.
