I have to lay a 38x400x400 slab around a drainpipe. So I need to cut out a slot about 5inchs deep and 4inchs wide with a rounded apex. Has anyone tried this. Any advice welcome. Thanks

Use a small masonary drill to create a line of perforations along the outline of the shape to be removed.

Then use a larger drill to expand the holes. Then with a chisel cut away the bits between the holes but so it slowly and gently little bit at a time.

Thanks. It's scary especially as I wont have any spare slabs.
