I have been laying a bit of block paving - nothing fancy, just a few sq. metres of the garden with 50mm Brett Omega blocks - foot traffic only.
So far I have almost managed to avoid cutting them by careful choice of start positions and design. But I now need to cut some. Including a few heavy kerb blocks.
I tried bolster and club hammer. Works OK-ish but the edges/ends are a bit bumpy and uneven. Not ideal when trying to slot them into a neat space.
I tried an electric tile cutter. Very neat but had to cut both sides (and ends, for best results) as the maximum depth of cut is rather shallow. Slow. Somewhat messy. Still left a bit of a bump in the middle but acceptable.
Cormaic recommends a splitter (for most cuts). But I want to take my time and hire charges make that prohibitive. (BTW - what has happened to
I have a small (115mm) angle grinder and am thinking of using that with a suitable blade.
So - any suggestions for a) suitable blade and b) any other techniques?
