Grinding/shaping sharp ‘concrete’ edges???
My drive is block paved and part of it is a few inches higher than the surrounding area. The paving blocks in this particular area are retained by a lengths of concrete edging.
However, the outside edges of the concrete edging-strips are 90 degrees and are quite sharp as you’d imagine.
I’d like to round-off the sharp edges for 2 reasons;...they’d look aesthetically more pleasing and also they’d be easier on my car tyres!
Would a grinder and discs leave a decent smooth finish or would it tend to just shatter the edges?...any other solutions?
It’s donkeys years since I used an angle grinder and then it was only for cutting rather than sanding/shaping.
What to do?....all and any advice/suggestions gratefully received.
p.s. are these items from Toolstation ok to use for this job?
