Hello, Mr. Witt.... Punch up Gem and Mineral clubs in your state,

near you and you will see all kinds of folks that will be eager to

help you. I know a couple of guys in my group that have large saws.

Some may use thicker blades some thin. But, most importantly, check

what they use for coolant. Ya don't want a cut to smell like an

oil change shop.....
