Is there a special (trick) way of cutting Marble? My wife wanted some coasters for use in the living room and I found a large piece of Carrera Marble. When trying to slab it my slab saw would cut part way through and then would bind up and stop. Thought at first it was not being held in the vise solid enough and reset it and it cut for a little and then stopped. I put in large jasper slab and it when through it with no problem.Put the Marble back in and it cut a little and then stopped. What is the trick?

marble is softer- and may be glazing up the blade- if you have an auto feed try slowing it down.
