What kind of blade did you ?use
I am a 61 year old woman and i put in a brick walkway and patios. I had been trying to cut bricks with a chisel and hammer and later with a sawzall with a masonry blade. Nothing was working. I found your video and went out and got a $44 angle grinder and it was so easy to do after watching you do it. This old lady says thank you so much!!!
Nice video. And thanks for not putting the guard back on the grinder for the video 😎
Y would I; it's in the way
Excellent video Thanks! I just used your method to cut 2 concrete pavers using an angle grinder with diamond disc and got a nice clean cut. I let the cutting disc do the work slowly (without pushing) to a depth of about 5mm on all four sides of the paver. I fixed the guard and extra handle on the grinder for safety and control. I also wore complete eye protection, ear plugs, tight fitting face mask and industrial gloves. Cutting was done on the grass, then I 'snapped' paver over a metal pipe lying on the ground. Very pleased with the result.
More safety precautions won't hurt. Happy it worked
I get not wanting to use the guard, but at least don't have body in line with the wheel. That way if/when that disc breaks you wont be in the path of the flying debris. I also don't believe that people keep mentioning no guard, but don't mention that he puts the grinder down while its on. The vibration makes it move around a bit, and if that thing turns so the wheel catches on something, something is going flying.
Great video! Exactly what I was looking to do! 👍🏽
Kids, don't do this at home. USE the GUARD on the angle grinder!
True, kids dobt do it, adults do it this way
@@InvestorTheory Your video really helped get a good idea of how to cut right but your disregard for safety isn't helpful. Every credible how to video needs to include proper safety protocols to follow especially for people who are inexperienced instead of "this is how adults do it". Adults can loose fingers and adults and cut their wrists. Adults need safety just as much as kids. Other than that, I am about to go do exactly what I just saw you do except I will have a guard on my grinder and I will have safety glasses, gloves ect.
I never use a guard
Iv never had grad on my Grider and been using it for years and years just don’t go too hard with it and be sensible
@@blackalgorithmist000 I guess you haven't had a blade shatter then and implant bits of the disk in your neck and arm ?
Exactly what I needed at exactly the moment I needed it. Thank you.
Great video and great information
Thx
i like it how you cut it bro
Appreciate it
Great video man, wish it would have been longer but very nice...
Glad you enjoyed it! I don't know how many more tricks i could do :) Watch my other vides on polymeric sand, i do a lot of cutting there.
I would rent a wet saw to avoid making a dust storm.
Good videos but can't believe you use a grinder without the guard , lunacy.
👍👍👍👍
Thank you.👍 Now I am going to pick up angle grinder, and get to work .😅
Good luck!
tried to use a mider saw got nowhere fast. Ran across this and done in no time flat. I know its an old video but thank you
it seems like if you had a garden hose running on your bricks your cutting would keep a lot of dust down
True but in thst case I may as well just use my wet saw. These are quick cuts on a job
Good job 👍 but!!!! You’ll be cutting your next slab with half a face 😡if you don’t put that guard on the grinder 🚑
The guard stops you from going deeper and makes intricate cuts difficult. Just be careful and focus and you'll be alright.
@@InvestorTheory you can focus all you like 🤨 but if that disc explodes 💥your face will disappear. And your eyes . Listen to the advice mate. If you want to look like the elephant man when things go wrong don’t listen 😡
Watching this is like watching Russian roulette. Do it safely!
thank you. I also watch wet tile saw videos with contractors getting super close to the blade as theyre cuttin 2 inch squares....
@@InvestorTheory Tile saws often have blade guards and I’ve never seen a blade break on one of them. Angle grinder discs can fly apart though. Be careful.
Would you recommend spraying it with water to reduce dust?
Wouldn't make a difference unless u have a wet saw
@@gagash32 yes.
does that stuff you put down between the bricks keep the weeds away
Where is your guard? This isn't safe.
I took it off so i can get in better cuts
@@InvestorTheory You only need shallow cuts before a hammer and chisel will split the block, especially since you're leaving fairly wide joints for the polymeric sand, so that's not a good reason to take the guard off. Bad practice to show in a DIY tutorial.
@@spotfrog91 literally almost every professional in any industry that uses an angle grinder takes the guard off.
@@JimmyJimJimJames > Professional
> Implying that this is a good thing
> Implying that DIYers and flippers taking advice from this channel know how to use tools correctly and use PPE
What type of blade are you using? I need to cut 2” thick 12x12 stepping blocks
It has taken me about 30 hours so far.
To do what
@@InvestorTheory Do a footpath with pavers. First timer, so it's taking me a while.
Road base, sand etc. Difficult to get the level correct.
Pavers are based on concrete and they may contain silica, they should be cut with a wet saw. Dust is very harmful.
What's your suggestion for cutting them for those that don't have one
@@InvestorTheory more and more building code and local regulations are prohibiting this due to health concerns and making actually ilegal. OSHA recommends breathing mask, safety glasses and wet saw. I have seen contractors making their own versions or a wet saw but watering with a hose while using the grinder. You can check it out.
This is unlawful in the UK. Contamination from silica kills around 500 a year in the UK. You can purchase a water attachment for the angle grinder that will not generate the deadly dust.
remember to wear a mask, silica dust is bad for you
protect your eyes 👀
100%
And face get a face shield as well as glasses. Those blades fly off it's going to do some damage
I was cutting some stone a week ago. I blade flew off and luckily it rolled away from me at a very fast speed but went like 50 feet. I felt a lot better knowing my face was at least protected
Sure take the guard off if it's in the way, but stand to the side at least bro. I've seen a disc explode and cut a man's throat, not fun.
I always think about the blade flying off but now I'll def move
I catch myself doing the same thing bro, but then I remember what can happen and quickly move to the side.
Where is the disc guard on that grinder? You are an accident waiting to happen buddy!
mostpeople take the guard off, it doesn't allow for fine cuts
@@InvestorTheory more fool them!
I took mine off too.. I don't think I kno anyone who doesn't take em off..
All these people complaining about no Guard bet there missing them on there grinders not sure why we all take them off but we do
Getting into tighter spaces
Use the freaking guard on that angle grinder...
You can't do what I did in this video with a guard
That’s not easy. It’s a pain in the butt to do it that way. It’s fine if you have one cut to make, but if you are going to do a whole patio, rent a brick saw.
I did do a whole patio 600 sq feet. Bit by bit gets it done.
Thanks for the video. Seems your walkway has a hill in the middle or are the courses of brick deceiving my eyes…
It had the hill originally , I tried saving it down but it was just too much work then I realized it was there fir drainage away from the foundation
Oof. Cutting that dry is a dangerous no-no, and actually is illegal in sone states due to the silica dust created. Also echoing the danger of not using a guard. Yikes my friend
please explain the law to me, is silica going to travel over to my neighbours? the guaRD is a personal preference, you can't do much with an angle grinder with the guard.
Okay Karen/Kyle 😆 Have you figured out where he is so you can report him?
wonder what kind of blade that is
It's a dewalt, look in description
@@InvestorTheory tile, grinder, cement?
Hi, nice work! Did you put old tiles underneath the pavers to level it?
Yes I did.
Why would a diamond tip disc shatter , mine wouldn't as it's mainly metal dohh.
Disc's won't shatter
No guard = A&E
No i took it off, easier to cut
use a little water
No need for water,
Are you using a cutoff blade and not a diamond blade can't tell?
It's a diamond blade sir.
People with OCD would have screamed their heads off when they see the pavers not level with the brick wall 😳😬😡
True! but those people also would spend 9K geting someon to do this. for 8870$ less, I'll deal with the slight mislevel;)
Well for pretty much the same price u could have levelled the ground by using the brick joint. Although i would have given the pavers a slight fall for water run off so even when done correct your probably not going to stay true with the joint. Maybe not go up then down like yours though. It does look like a good job all the same
Where is the next video that shows the sand??
One glove, which doesn't look great anyway. No grinder guard. Not wet cutting (so breathing in all that dust). I'm going to assume no other PPE up top. Don't do this.
Stop being so woke.. this videos shows u how to cut pavers not how to be a foreman
Well no guard and shiyt blades, anyone complaining about burning through blades so take the guard off needs their head's read, buy a bloody diamond blade! simple
No guard, handle removed, one glove...... Eye protection probably not adequate and not impact rated.
Anyone complaining about no guard - Maybe you never burnt through 10 or 20 grinder blades on one project. If you did you would realize the guard is in the way for a lot of cutting positions.
Finally a fellow contractor, lol
Most people realize that keeping yourself alive and not mammed outweighs the risk of using a guard. Knew a guy that talked like you. He's six feet under now because it blew apart and sliced his jugular.
Sure ...@@zimri1323
The guard is deffinitly in the way if you trying to make detailed cuts
No guard,no gloves,probably no safety glasses,safety man at my job would have a field day….lol
This is a diy project, you're your safety foreman
I got shit in my eye just watching this video
Lol
Its ridiculous that you show people how to use a grinder with no guard on the machine. How irresponsible can you be. That will take your fingers off if you slip. Good luck in the emergency room.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 shut up lol
SHUT UP, ANGLE GRINDERS HAVE NO REAL KICK
Clearly this guy hasn’t spent extensive time using a grinder
@@anarcho-savagery2097 look up how many accidents happen a year with angle grinders. They are considered the 3rd most dangerous tool. I imagine the table saw is first. But top 3... that's scary.
Real men don’t ware protection 😂
Ps: I’m not a real man.
I know serveral people who never use’s the cover. I think they are nuts. 😵💫
Maybe if there is a need in a certain corner or so. But normally always with…
