Have a kitchen floor coming up using 15mm thick Polished Limestone.
Can anyone recommend the most suitable way to cut them.
Have a Sigma and a variety of grinder blades but would like to turn up with the correct tools and more importantly....knowledge.

Thanks!

You'll need a grinder blade with the cutting material on the surface rather than a sintered matrix (such as a regular ceramic or porcelain blade).

So Electroplated diamond vanity blade or vacuum brazed diamond continuous rim blade. This type of blade cuts sedimentary stone with a very smooth action (it kind of files the material away rather than cutting it) and a clean finish with little to zero breakout at all.

For wet cutting on a bridge/table saw a decent continuous rim blade would be just fine.
