Hi,

I'm midway through laying my patio, and due to my cack handedness with
using a hammer and chisel to cut the slabs, I need an angle grinder to
cut around half a dozen slabs that will fit round the dwarf wall of my
conservatory. Can the regulars suggest the cheapest way of doing this?
I don't currently have an angle grinder, and would like to go for a
cheap as chips model (with diamond wheel) so I won't care too much if
it dies straight after the job.

Only problem is the slabs are real stone, and the thickness varies
between 20mm and 35mm.

Any suggestions for something that will do the job that I can pick up
from one of the sheds?

Just pick up whatever cheapy angle grinder is available in your local
sheds - these things are changing all the time Or from Screwfix,
Toolstation etc.. A 4 1/2 inch grinder will be cheapest and will do. But
probably won't cut right through all the slabs (not really necessary
though). Having used one for cutting paving though I'd probably go for
a 9 inch one.

Watch the price of disks in the sheds. For half a dozen flags then just
plain cutting disks would probably be fine.,
