Step 2Cut slate with a suitable tool

Cut slate with a suitable tool
To cut slate, you neet to user a suitable tool and cut it with water as a coolant and lubricant. In this case I used fiberglass-reinforced cutoff wheels for a Dremel tool. This is Black & Decker part #RT1000 (426)....Be sure to round the wheel on a piece of scrap before you proceed to cut, and do not remove the wheel after doing so unless it is worn-out or shattered....but these wheels are supposedly shatterproof...

Nonetheless, always wear eye protection and do not cut or grind directly into your face
