Thin blades will possibly warp if you are not careful. I used a 0.50mm blade for mine. If you need to use a 1/2 inch drill bit to slightly enlarge the hole for the blade you will need to do so for the adapters too. My Facetron needed that done but an older Graves Mark 1 and a friend’s Chinese machine did not.

Make sure that the stone will be trailing so that if it jams on the saw it will be knocked away from the blade. Then
