Hello Experts,
I am looking to cur the conrete slab highlighted in yellow dotted lines, so that it will match to the newly layed concrete pathway.
Are there any suggestions ?
I thinking use Demolition Saw to create a seperation and then get rid of remaining using sledge hammer or jack hammer.
Does it work ?
Hi @nvelaga
You are on the right line of thinking.
But your slab is only 75mm thick so if you use and angle grinder either even a 100mm disk will work with a diamond or masionary abrasive or multipurpose disk. Use a circular saw too but the diamond blade is bigger and more expensive for a one off cut.
The purpose of the cut line is to proved a neat controlled fracture line so when you use a jack hammer closer to the cut line it will break along the line only.
Use the sledge or jack hammer to break up larger lump so they are easier to handle Smashing em too small is creating more work so stop at largest managable size/
The last 20mm of the uncut path will be raggedly as it wont be cut all the way though so just use your angle grinder and blade to tidy it up flat.
Thanks @Jewelleryrescue.
I wasn't aware circular saws are handy for concrete as well. I have Ozito circular saw , if i purchase a diamond blade ( diablo )
Does the saw sufficient for the job ?
