Question : While I was cutting a stone slab on top of 2” x 4” rails, dust breached a lot. What did I do wrong?
Answer : When the blade cut through the stone slab, there is a space for dust to blow, that is the reason for this problem. Alpha® suggests laying the stone slab on top of Styrofoam Sheets or cementitious boards and cut together with the substrate. This will encapsulate the cutting edge so that all dust would be delivered to the vacuum.
