It would seem like you might be able to do it with your tile/masonry saw and the right blades...

Just a random though...

I guess if you dont have a proper blade it would be more cost effective to just replace the hone :lol:
I've been trying to grind down an Austrian Swaty. I use vinigar (to disolve the hone) and sandpaper on a leval surface, and a ****ing lot of elboy grease. So far I've but several hours into it and it has started to take the nicks out, but not made the hone ding-free :x . I plan on finishing though. Swaty's are usually pretty thick, BTW. I doubt I could pull this off on some of the thinner ones....

(In case I'm not clear on what I'm doing: The hone has some tiny dings on the top and bottom faces, around the edges. So a lay it face down on sand paper, with stinking vinegar everywhere, and start gridin'. This makes the hone thinner.)
