What happens here
A person, wearing sunglasses and a cap, operates an iQ Power Tools IQ360XT wet saw to cut a grey paver or capstone block. They carefully feed the block into the spinning diamond blade using a black push block to maintain pressure and guidance. The phrase "measure 2x cut 1x" reappears on screen, reinforcing the need for prior accurate measurement. The cutting action generates dust, which the saw's integrated dust collection system is seen managing.
Goal: Execute precise cuts on capstone blocks for fitting onto the curved wall.
