Default I want to do some stone cutting so....

Some big ones that saw near the sites are wire cutters. A mile or so of wire
that is coated with grit is passed through water and then over the stone
that is flowing with water....

The large blocks on UT and the local banks and ..... likely needed work or replacements.

Now that you have the stone - do you have a slab saw ? A slab saw
is a large wheel running verticle in a water based coolant and a strong
chuck - like a kurt - with big jaws - to hold the stone that is held in
wood that the metal jaws push on.

Slab saws are not cheap - but if you are doing a lot of it - do it.




There used to be a stone cutting saw outside at one of the U of T
campuses in Austin. About thirty feet long, eight feet high, with a
traveling overhead blade.
