cutting into a concrete block wall
Hi there
Would someone please tell me how to cut into a 9" thick concrete garden wall? I've tried using a large angle grinder but it won't go all the way through and looking at stone cutters neither will they. I want to cut a section out to put a gate in. Thanks to any replies. David |

Hire a Stihl saw with a 14" blade. |

Drill through in several places with an SDS drill being careful to keep the bit 'square'. Cut through from both sides. Make the opening slightly oversize then shutter up and make good with a mortar skim to the dimensions required. For best results include a rebate in the shuttering to give a neat fillet round the opening. -- *When cheese gets it's picture taken, what does it say?

Thanks guys
I think I'll try to save some hiring money and grind through from both sides. Making it oversize makes sense too. Thanks again David |
