Hi Anthony.
I just bought my tile saw on monday. So far I have only put it to work once: to save a Montipora digitata with STN. It produces perfect, clean cuts.

However, I did notice that tissue closest to the cut has taken longer to recover.

While cutting I noticed a considerable build-up of slurry (mixed water and powdered rock/skeleton) on the tissue nearest the cut. This is precisely the area that has not recovered well.

What can I do to reduce the trauma?

I'm currenty using a 2.2mm thick diamond tile blade. Is this too thick? It just seems to produce a great deal of waste.
