Thread: Sawing my nortons in half the long way

A wet cut tile saw with a smooth non sectional diamond blade would probably give the straightest, smoothest most chip free cut, but if you hire the saw the diamond wear cost will be high.
A small grinder with the same type of blade would work, but again the blade will cost.
A thin masonry blade in a grinder would also work, the thinner the better I think about 1 mm is the thinnest, just remember that they are fragile when thin so your cut needs to be straight, do not use this blade to chamfer the edge. Seriously don't. Use anything else or a grinding blade.
Grinding with cutting blades can cause them to explode- this is very bad for you and anyone nearby. And WEAR SAFETY GLASSES or better yet SAFETY GOGGLES, and A GOOD DUST MASK

I used to hire power tools and sell abrasives, never been asked how to cut a hone before so am giving advice based on what i know but for peace of mind a good resource would be the Norton/ saint gobain website, they should have a chart showing what blade will cut what. I doubt hones are on the list but you should be able to approximate.
