leegreen 2,255 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Ah! your girl friend want to cut a roofing slate in to a love heart shape? Would be best off using a slate nibbler. Gridding discs of what ever won't cut round bends. Unless she cuts in to the marked out heart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
