Step 3 Prepere slate for cutting

Have a suitable jar handy filled with water so you can dip it in and keep the stone soaked. Quench (dip) the slate before it dries out from the friction. Keep the stone wet as you cut or it will flake and chip and chew up your cutoff wheel prematurely. Room-temperasture water will work just fine, just keep it wet through the entire cutting process...you cannot keep it too wet for cutting, in case you had any doubt, and not only controls dust, but keeps everything cool and lubed enough...
