Make sure you have a steady hand and use a water bottle to keep blade wet all the time.

Re: Cutting 800mm Limestone.
use a timber batten as a guide on the long cuts just to keep your lines nice and neat.
make sure the batten is straight too!

Re: Cutting 800mm Limestone.
You should do a check piece first, some natural stone will stain even with water. You may have to cut them dry so just use the usual safety items. Must say I have never come across 5mm Limestone, what is the substrate and what adhesive are you using?

For that size would have thought they needed to be 15mm.
