The only caveat is that we refire all that we cut so minor chipping is not an issue. Also its good to sanblast cut edges before firing.

rick, is it the 215gl? that's the one i use, the chipping is so minor with the gl even with just a fire polish schedule i don't have to grind edges/sides...
haven't tried the mk 303 professional yet but it's the next blade up when i have to change....

Well, I brought the piece I made with the PBs I tried to saw up in your studio.... brought it with me to the guild meeting last night to show you the end result... but ALAS, m'lord, not there, boooo hoooo.
Now I remember why I like my sewing machine -- it only has one moving part.
It turns out that the more I learn about my saw, the more parts it's missing! It doesn't have the flanges to hold the blade steady - am subbing with washers until the parts arrive. That certainly goes a long way toward explaining blade wobble!!
cross your fingers, everybody. (By the way, one of the projects-in-waiting are tiles for my kitchen. I've already removed the *ahem* decorative tiles that mine will replace, so the kitchen is a groovy mix of beige tile and gaping holes. Ah, home improvement!)
