WHAT TOOL IS THIS???? I must know. I must purchase. @broadlandscapes

What happens here

With the curved line clearly marked on the pavers, the next critical step is to cut along this guide. A powerful angle grinder, fitted with a high-quality diamond cutting blade specifically designed for hard materials like pavers, is employed. The worker holds the angle grinder firmly with both hands, maintaining a stable stance, and carefully guides the blade precisely along the marked curved line. It is common practice to make several shallow passes with the grinder to gradually cut through the paver, rather than attempting a single deep cut, which can lead to chipping or uneven results. As the grinder moves, it creates a cloud of dust and potentially throws small fragments, necessitating strict adherence to safety protocols. This step transforms the regular, straight-edged pavers into custom-shaped pieces ready for installation along the new curve.

Goal: Precisely cut the patio pavers to form the marked curved edge.
