Cutting Paver Bricks

[sailsmanship]

I am doing a patio with keystone looking paver bricks that on one side of the patio it has an arc, so I have to cut some of them. What is the best way to do that. I have tried with a chisel, scoring them with a concrete abrasive wheel then hitting them with a chisel, still no luck. Any suggestions?

Use a diamond cutting disc, you'll get a nice clean accurate cut.

you can rent a cutter like the one RPJS is talking about and its worth it with the results you get, may want to get an extra disc depending on how many you nee to cut.<br />do it rite the first time.

Rent a brick saw from a local rental place. (big table type deal).<br />Anything else is pizzing in the wind.

Ditto.The Depot down here rents the wet table saws for around $35 a day.Well worth it.

I use a stihl 400 saw with a 14 inch dry concrete blade. The wet table saw will work, will make a mess and take a long time. I would rent a hand held saw mark a thick dark line and cut.

yep what bomar76 said, I have used the big table brick saws lots of times, as soon as you get used to it you will zip through them in a jiffy

Dry diamond wheel on a grinder if you're just doing a dozen.

I've cut a few pavers with a skil saw and a mansonary cutting wheel. But if you have alot to do maybe the table saw thingy is best and definately more accurate.
