![]() "Bill Stock" wrote in message ... I'd like to split some retaing blocks in half, so that they would be half the height of the original blocks. These would become capstones for another project. The stones are 4" high by 8" deep and (9" and 6") wide. I'd happily pay someone to split these for me (30 blocks) assuming they did a decent job and I could not buy a machine cheaper. Any thoughts on the right toy to cut these? I gather something wet would be best, but anything I've seen would require two cuts. An 8" depth of cut is required. The 14" cutoff saw looks interesting, but would still require two cuts and be a tad dusty. Thanks, but they don't make capstones for these blocks and I want to match them to a nearby retaining wall. The stones are to cap a pond. Believe me if I could buy them I would. Maybe I'll have to settle for close. Blocks are concrete for those that asked. |

Or he could go for complement, or even accentuate. It's all in the verbiage. ![]() R |
