On some knife forums, people speak highly on carbide blades for cutting stones.

If you use a regular blade, the stone will either round or completely abrade the teeth making that blade completely useless.

Indeed carbide coated blade works great as pointed that out in post #8 and later ones in the thread.

Gotcha. I honestly didn't remember. You are right.

I went to the Home Depot yesterday to the lumber department where I used the saw. I asked to speak to the employee there — I explained that I used a saw to cut a hard stone a few days ago, that I was concerned I abused it, and was willing to make full financial restitution. He told me not to worry, that they actually routinely replace their saws regardless of whether I used it or not. I won't be using their stuff again, lesson learned. In the future I will pick up a carbide blade

I actually have a Harbour Freight 10 minutes away — I might pick up a dirt cheap small carbide blade to finish the huge Tomo I cut, as well as the incoming chosera 600.
