How can I cut a concrete slab ?
I am installing an inlay of granite on the fringes of an existing concrete slab. The slab is my fireplace hearth, and extends about 18 inches outside of my fireplace (into my living room), and goes into my fireplace box floor. I have gas logs sitting on the inside part.
I need to make a clean cut of the concrete and remove all of the concrete outside of my fireplace so I can install the granite. I want to cut the concrete in a straight line so i don’t damage or crack the concrete inside of my fireplace. How can I make this even cut so I can remove the outside slab without damaging the inside slab?
The only way I know is with a concrete saw but be aware its bulky and 90 degree cuts close to a wall might be hard to accomplish. You might have to go on an angle and finish with a hammer and chisel. Finally the dust this will create will be enormous I cut through a block wall once and the clean up took longer than cutting the wall, you will have to cover everything. Its not an easy task. You might consider having it done professionally by a licensed/insured person.
