Great jig. Not tried the diamond blade yet, looks like it leaves a nice cut. Might not be the quickest route if using slips over a large areas though! :-)

Obviously if you need 500 of them, you would buy them in specially. These were needed for a builder who was building an extension and only needed 10 or 20 He used this saw and cut them, so that he did not have to wait weeks for the slips to arrive ;-)

Could I do this with a chop saw and a diamond blade? I want to cut 2 to 3 mm slices widthwise so i can use a small handsaw to cut little bricks for an art project. I have a dewalt very similar to what you have, but it doesn't slide forward and backwards, only up and down. Thanks in advance for the help

It depends. The Evolution saws have high-torque gearboxes and run at the correct speed for the diamond blade. Using a diamond blade on a machine at the wring speed can be very dangerous Thanks for the comment
