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?

Personally, angle grinders terrify me.
I think they're great!

I've used an el cheapo Plasplugs electric tile cutter on york stone. Just
take it slowly and don't run it continuously. No more than about a 50%
duty cycle.

Some of the slabs are 900mmx600mm, my plasplugs tile cutter would
probably collapse under the weight (like me!)
