I already had a couple of carbide cut-off blades, so I used those.

I did sand the edges. Slate is nice and soft. Even regular sandpaper works well on it.

After I cut the slate to size, I had to build a frame for it and then mount the whole thing to the wall.



Here's what it looked like when completed.


One of the smaller cut-offs from the original slate was sized for use as a message board in my kitchen.
