Hi,
I have some red paving blocks that I need to trim down. So I bought a cheapish angle grinder which came with diamond blades and stone grinding discs.
However the diamond blade is not really cutting into the block at all. It just makes a mark a few mm deep and gets hot. Are these blocks just too hard? as they seem to contain a lot of stones/pebbles in them or do I need some other type of blade?
I tried a stone grinding disc out too. The disc wore out pretty quickly and really just polished the side of the block rather than remove any material.
It's only a few blocks I have to trim down so I don't really want to spend a lot or hire.
It's the first time I've used an angle grinder so any advice is appreciated. If it's not possible, I may have to go back to using a chisel and hammer.. a very slow process
.
Thanks.
