Are such avialable?
can a high speed router do the job?
Marble is very soft and can be sawn with a normal
wood saw, using water as a lubricant. I used this
approach when making a marble base for a Chinese
copy of a Vibroplex Morse Key.
I certainly could not cut this with a normal wood saw. I have cut it
with a diamond bladed tile cutter. Yes its softer than sandstone but
Id say its near slate in terms of hardness.
(A friend of mine works installling marble fireplaces
and the cut-out for the fire itself is a useful
piece of scrap about a foot square)
Maybve we are talking a different type of marble here.
And maybe my memory is playing tricks, a senior moment, for about that
time I also had a block of Bath Stone which I was sawing up into
blocks to make a tunnel mouth for the 16mm garden railway.
Well limestoines is marvleb that hasnt been melted yet...chemically
similar though finer grained.
Maybe you are right and I should take a jigsaw to it
