Golden macaubas

You guys are all in trouble. You didnt warn me about this crap. Golden Macaubus. I took a job with this Stone (http://g603.net) , underbid of course. This stuff is quartzite like, maybe it is, but it eats diamond tools for breakfast. No matter how slow or fast you cut on the bridge saw it will glaze your blade. My alpha curved blade got eaten, it eat through the solder and (http://maplered.com) 3 segments came off. You can see your reflection on the edge of your diamond blades after you cut it. Took forever to profile, probably killed my bits too. It polishes like glass, but man I am NEVER gonna fab this stuff again. And of course it was a full oval tub surround, lots of hand (http://maplered.com) sawing. BEWARE
