Partslice Nr 17
Enlarged detailed pictures can be reached by a simple 'click'.

1 & 1/2 years ago a first attempt to cut thin slabs with the wire saw drove to a semi failure when the stone moved, causing a step on the cut surface.
This year, thanks to a much better holding system, the stone did not move and was able to cut the "step" that occured lat time.

Here it is now as Partslice nr 17.
