Hi all,
I ran accross a specality blade for cutting and rounding 3/8" Marble in one pass. Im Still courious on the finish it leaves, i'll call the company on monday and get more a detailed description/price. If any one wants to check it out its.... http://www.alpha-tools.com/tech/technotes/profilew.pdf Also if anyone actually has used it I would love to here any feed back on it.

I called around today and found that the blade would do the job and with a good finish "not polished". Only catch is that it requires a 1 1/2 HP cutter to operate. With that in mind a 1 1/2 HP cutter runs around $500-$700, plus the profiling blade is around $250 "ouch!". Oh ya, and the life span of the blade is around 300 12"x12" tiles. I think i'll be doing some manuel beveling untill my money tree starts producing again.
