Rob,
You don't need to modify your saw. Get a resinoid or sinter blade which
require a special mounting flange. You can order a flange for as much as
exposed blade as required. I have cut 3mm substrates this way.
you can get blades & a flange from Microswiss (they are a part of K&S) or
other blade maanufacturers. You might want to consult them regarding the
blade type, diamond size, blade & cutting speed to fit your substrate.
