No, it really isn't that hard to do. You put two stone surfaces, rough-cut flat, next to each other. You then run your slab saw down the space between them. This will move them "that" much closer to each other. Keep doing that until you have them slab sawed as if they were originally cut from the same block.

A slab saw knows no difference in the angle it cuts.
