One of our tricks to easy cuts. #hardscape #secret #technique #contractor #tools #shorts
What happens here
Transport the marked capstone to a concrete saw. For safety, ensure you are wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and hearing protection (though not explicitly shown, these are critical). Carefully place the capstone on the saw's cutting surface, aligning the drawn cut line with the saw blade. Engage the saw and slowly push the capstone through the blade, or move the blade across the stationary capstone, depending on the saw type. Maintain a steady, even pressure to ensure a clean and straight cut. The video shows an IQ Power Tools 360 concrete saw, which is designed to handle this type of material efficiently.
Goal: Cut the capstone along the marked line
