Have you ever used a diamond rock saw on metal before? I have. A
number of times. Are you aware that there are no "teeth" as you would
normally find on a saw blade? The blade is a continuous metal surface
with the diamond cutting "teeth" embedded within. It is vani****ngly
unlikely that you could "clog" such a system, but hey - I have not
actually run any SS through it before, so I had to qualify my
statement. I remain unconvinced that there would be any problems.
Should I get the opprotunity to test, I will so so and re****t my
findings.
