Diamond wheels

[Anonymous No.1935946]

Hey /diy/,
I have a question about diamond cutting wheels.
Right now I'm finishing installation of paver bricks and due to the pattern I chose, I have to cut pavers around all of the perimeter (~180 meters total). For that purpose I'll rent a brick saw. The saw uses 350mm (14 inch) blades. And each milimeter of wear costs around 40 eurobucks. So the question is how fast do these blades wear? Maybe it would be more cost effective to buy a blade (from 80eur and up) than to rent it together with the saw?

Save yourself some bongbux and buy a second hand 9 inch makita grinder and a cheapo 2 pack of blades for 20 squid usually last me about 5 100sqm block paving jobs I'm assuming that is what you have to cut, they really aren't that hard

if it’s paver bricks they can be cut with a cold chisel very easily, if it’s slabs then use the right saw and don’t breath the dust

.... blades don’t wear very quickly if they are a good standard.

Pavers don't wear the blade too much you'd probably use maybe 3 mm if they're harder pavers also that's a fuck load for a rental charge you could probably find a cheap blade on Amazon for under 100 euros I can get one for like 100 here in the US at the store.
