    Take a Glasstone to a band saw? Easily done, but do you have any idea what the bandsaw would do once it saw the stone? I doubt it would saw the stone once seen. Most of the bandsaws I know would cry teeth trying to cut a diamond matrix bonded to a glass plate. Perhaps you know more macho saws.

    maybe with an angle grinder and a diamond coated disc?
    But I have no idea what would happen, and I wouldn't want to try out without some serious protection. Maybe it would cut it without too many problems. Or maybe the stone would shatter violently.

    Let us know when you find out.

    Come on Lord Salvager don't wuss out, give it a shot. What've you got to lose besides two eyes, ten fingers and three C-notes?

    Are these backed with actual glass or is it plastic?

    Glass (or to comply with the 10 character requirement, which, moderators, is really kindergarten, Ggglllaaasss)

    any time soon we can jump up to the 1st grade and make it 20 characters?

    are these really diamond stones? i thought they were just an even harder variation of the ceramic pros, but then again i don't know much about them at all.

    i would be leary of trying to cut a 1/4" tempered plate glass with a band saw...or at all for that matter
