Concrete posts & gravel boards
 
Hi

Do concrete posts & gravel boards contain rebar or something similar?

If they do, wot kinda disc is best to cut them with (9" ankle grinder, as my
mates wife calls them)?

I guess rebar would damage a diamond disc?

They have very thin (about 4mm) steel bars through them, yes....only usually
two per post and the same in each panel.

As stated two thin bars normally, about as thick as a pen perhaps.

I just kept on cutting with the diamond disc. lol.
