Cutting slate

[tripstation]

Is it possible to wet cut slate, or is it ok to dry cut it (indoors) ?

Wet cutting all the time

Hi had a room tiled the other day.
The tiler was dry cutting the slate in the communal corridor.
There was a lot of dust.
I didn't realize how much until it was too late.
Is that a normal thing to do?

Have to wet cut.

Also, Change the water frequently............as it clogs up the cutter. Its like bloody black tooth paste..........clings to everything

[tripstation]

OK, sounds reasonable.
So how much do you charge?

[whitebeam]

Not really, Certainly would'nt be cutting dry with a grinder indoors would be outside all the time, A communal corridor no way
