If you have access to a table saw use it to cut the pavers.

While the circular saw is similar the demolition saw is much more abrasive and you ll end up with a cleaner cut. Once you know your measurements use a straight edge to mark cutlines onto all 4 sides of your paver. Mark the cut and clamp the stone or paver to a stable work surface. Use a table saw.

Tips for cutting pavers. Before cutting pavers make sure you ve measured your space and know what size you want. Again you will have to change the blade to either a carbide or diamond tipped variety. Laying down a new walkway or a patio using pavers is easy to do but there is often a great deal of cutting involved.

All standard cutting methods work for straight cuts but for curved cuts use a circular saw or angle grinder. The abrasive blade makes short work of pavers just like cutting ceramic tile. The blade works perfectly. Although it takes a much deeper cutting depth than 1 4 inch to cut through a paver with a circular saw starting with a shallow cutting depth prevents the saw s blade from binding and kicking.

If you only need to cut a few a hammer and chisel can be employed but if cutting many pavers a power saw such as an angle grinder or a circular saw is recommended to speed up the process. Score the curved cut along the top of the paver first cutting about 1 8 inch deep. Like the hand held saw the table saw does not work well for angled cuts. For a larger project or more accurate cuts a circular saw with a concrete blade is a good option.

Cut the block allowing the saw and blade to do most of the work don t apply too much force. A wet tile saw is an electric table saw designed for cutting tile stone and concrete. Then gently tap your 1 inch wide cold chisel with a hammer until you have a 1 16 inch groove along the entire cutline. Most table saws have more power than a hand held saw so one pass ought to do the trick.
