    Thanks Dave...

    Whats the problem with using a straight cutter like my big clinker????

    They are Brazilian slate which Ive read is quite a hard slate in comparison to chinese or indian slate and so more denser and less pouros..

    Any particular brand of diamond blade you recommend,,, as Im going to invest in one purely for the job...

    a manual cutter is no good on natural tiles, you need to cut through ​it, not just score and snap
