[MR] Cutting soapstone into slabs

[Malone, Nicholas S.]

It can get very hot, and depending on the grit of the masonry blade
(lapidary blades are way pricey) it can vibrate and chip a lot. Gorm was
shooting for some relatively small, thin slabs. Most masonry blades also
have a wide Kerfs and eat up a lot of your material.
