My problem is I need to cut some slates, both width ways and lengthways, but I have none of the necessary tools.
I've done a bit of research online and have looked at slate guillotines (although I'm not sure what length of slate they will cut up to, and mine are about 12ins square), Slaters Axes, or a Slater's hammer with a slater's stake.
I am left-handed, which seems to complicate things a little. Added to this, I don't want to spend a lot of money (by which I mean no more than £50 max) but I know that cheap tools aren't always worth the money.
I only expect to be cutting up to 100 slates max, to give an idea of the size of job.
Can anyone offer any advice? Cheers.
