Pocster Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) Hey Is there just a thing ? Tried to make one - wasn’t too good ? I’m looking for something that allows a perfectly straight cut - not easy when cutting a paver with a full sized angle grinder . Thought there might be a ‘guide’ like you get with a circular saw - but it appears not ... Edited October 20, 2018 by pocster

Russell griffiths Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 Why not hire one for a day or two and get all the cuts done.

Onoff Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 Evolution Rage 3 with diamond blade? I have the saw and diamond blade and can confirm it works as per the video. I've made up wooden guides to go over blocks before to get a straight line. 1

I've had my wall chasers hooked up to a 2000W woodworking dust extractor and managed near dustless chasing inside the furnished house. SWMBO didn't seem to think so though! I reckon it was just the bits by the ceiling made the dust when I had to sds chisel them out where the chaser won't go up to. 1
Pocster Posted October 20, 2018 Author Posted October 20, 2018 Rage 3 dB does look tempting ; with the stand .
Pocster Posted October 20, 2018 Author Posted October 20, 2018 Dust extractor with power take off ? Any recommendations??
Pocster Posted October 21, 2018 Author Posted October 21, 2018 @Onoff what’s the largest say paving slab you could get in there ? . I know you should use a wet cutter but just wondering...

Cpd Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Looks like a good way to ruin a mitre saw...... when I am not using my big F>O masonry saw with diamond blade and running water I would: - use a large angle grinder with a good diamond blade, I set up a leaf blower to blow the dust away (just sticky tape the reeves on mid blow) hold the blower down between some bricks. start by marking your cut with a coloured pencil / crayon as it sticks better than just normal pencil, then run your angle grinder among the line to mark it only. Don’t try to do the full depth just 5mm or so. You will then have a permanent line that’s easy to follow. The blower keeps things clean and helps cool the blade. You still need a dust mask and goggles for standard safety . Done hundreds of such cuts and you soon become proficient.

The rage saw can cut anything with the correct blade - so am still tempted . A chop/slide saw that does more than wood.

They do indeed cut everything but not as well imo as a dedicated saw for whatever that material is. Don't forget that once you have that diamond blade on you won't be able to cut wood or steel anymore without changing the blade. Seem to recall reading somewhere you shouldn't use the slide action if cutting metal. Seemingly, for tiles etc you can though, and I have. I do wonder how long, with the abrasive "stone" dust generated, the unit will last even with good dust extraction.
Pocster Posted October 21, 2018 Author Posted October 21, 2018 What’s a good wet cutter that can do thick pavers and large ones ; that doesn’t cost the earth ???
Cpd Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Your best getting a second hand mounted wet saw. The dust this work creates will ruin anything that’s not specifically designed for the job. Yes they say they will do it but for how long. Use a good second hand one and sell it when your done. It’s dirty, nasty work. 1

Onoff Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Wet cutters of course create quite a bit of dirty, dust laden run off. Can block drains etc. Bit of scruffy garden to ditch it onto is what I do. Wife will forever by digging up tile spacers here!
