How To Cut Concrete

According to Bob Villa, the home improvement guru, if your project involves concrete less than six inches thick you CAN do it yourself (with the right equipment). However, he cautions that for concrete thicker than that you should consider hiring a professional. First, you will need the right tools.  In the case of cutting concrete, this means a diamond blade!  At Blades Direct, our inventory includes the best diamond blades on the market.  Consider the fast cutting Samedia Shocker Blade RX13.
