The saw glides on top of the straight-edge, which stops just short of the blade. This prevents the saw base from scratching the stone, as well as guiding the cut. Slate doesn't take a polish well, and is too soft to hold a polish for long but it can be sealed with various proprietary organic sealers.

I have large pieces of 3/4 inch black slate originally from an old pool table. I would like to cut out rectangular pieces to inset into the kitchen counter I am building (for myself). I would like to make fairly accurate straight cuts.

Yep, that's what I was thinking. I might give it a shot. I have a buddy who has a tilesaw i could borrow. Not sure if I could get a circle cut though. Might try just cutting a block of it and setting it in a box call shaped piece of wood.

I thought I would make them out of slate, which is easy to split, and then glue them together. I want the slate to appear natural looking, so the flakes have to be glued one on top of the other, facing towards the front of the tank, so they appear like natural layers of sedimentary rock.
