1. A method comprising:
- making a cut into a first surface of a substrate using a cutting disk having a generally planar surface that is oriented generally perpendicular to the first surface;
first directing abrasive particles toward a first portion of a second generally opposite surface of the substrate to remove substrate material; and
,after said first directing, second directing abrasive particles toward a second different portion of the second generally opposite surface of the substrate to remove additional substrate material, wherein said first directing and said second directing, in combination with said making a cut, form a slot.

Abstract
The described embodiments relate to methods and systems of forming slots in a substrate. One exemplary embodiment forms a feature into a substrate having a first substrate surface and a second substrate surface, and moves a sand drill nozzle along the substrate to remove substrate material sufficient to form, in combination with said forming, a slot through the substrate.

5. A method comprising:
-
cutting substrate material with a circular saw positioned relative to a first surface of a substrate; and
,removing additional substrate material from a second generally opposite surface of the substrate by moving a sand drill nozzle along the substrate while ejecting abrasive particles therefrom, wherein said acts of cutting and removing form a slot through the substrate. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A method comprising:
-
cutting substrate material by moving a circular saw toward a substrate from a first direction; and
,removing additional substrate material from the substrate by moving a sand drill nozzle along the substrate while ejecting abrasive particles from the sand drill in a second direction which is generally opposite to the first direction, wherein the cutting and removing form a desired slot through the substrate.
