Is it possible to trim down a 600x600 concrete paving slab along
2 sides with a 115mm diameter angle grinder?

It's the thickness that matters...
But yes. If it's a bit too thick or you get bored, after it scoring
as deeply as you can be bothered, and supporting it under the the cut-
line, a good whack on the offcut ought to crack the rest away neatly
enough - apart from the top edge, the rest is all presumably going to
be hidden anyway.


Actually, the edge is going to be visible - it's being used as a cap
stone. I thought of molding one, but that doesn't look doable in 24
hours (unless I molded it in place, maybe).
