Cutting coloured concrete slabs

Aug 12, 2008 2 Replies

Hi,



Has anyone cut coloured concrete slabs with an angle grinder before? If so did the aggregate in the concrete detract from the overall finish?



I'm just wondering as I may have to cut down some coping stones to a more suitable width and wanted to know if i'd be wasting my time.



Cheers,


Not really, though I cant recall leaving a cut face showing, as no matter how good you are cutting them, they will not be perfectly straight, and will have grinder marks on the face.

Alan.

I cut some with my Plasplugs tile cutter and got a beautiful near polished edge which looked far better than the real surface. ;-) It was roughly the same colour too - they were red ones. I'd guess it might vary according to the construction/colour, though.
