To cut concrete with a 15 amp circular saw start by using chalk to mark cut lines on the surface of the slab. Repairs on a concrete floor driveway or patio sometimes become necessary due to damages. A circular saw with a masonry blade can also be used to either score or completely cut through the block. Next set the saw s blade depth to 2 inches and attach a 7 inch diamond blade using vice grips so that the teeth point in the opposite direction of movement.

You may have to undertake some concrete cutting at some point in your home improvement projects. Set the diamond blade on the concrete wet saw to a depth of 4 1 2 inches and cut along both chalk lines. Underground utilities may also develop faults which demands that you break through the concrete. This is noisy and can be time consuming depending on the amount of steel.

A 7 circular saw for instance can only cut to 2 inches deep meaning you ll need to sledgehammer the rest of the concrete away.
