How to cut paving slabs?

When laying paving slabs, cutting material is inevitable. this is the only way to form a path or an original ornament, a pattern. The complexity of the work is due to their scale, paving stones, its shape and density.

In addition, concrete for the construction of street platforms is interspersed with crushed stone of various diameters, which also affects its density. The thickness of the street coating is 20–80 mm. The totality of introductory data affects the choice of tool.

Features of the initial stage: how much to take tiles

The question of the amount of material purchased is simple. it is enough to know the size of the site covered with tiles. As a rule, the number of facing units in a square meter is indicated when selling. One tenth or fifteen part is added to it to form the correct edges, or in case of battle.

For example, for a 20 square meter site. m take 22–23 sq. m of tiles simple (square or rectangular) shape. If the material is made in the form of rounded, original figures, or a certain ornament is planned, then the tiles will be required more.

Important points of the process

In fact, cutting paving stones. processing of strong concrete products of various thicknesses. As a result of such a procedure, elements of the required forms, sizes are obtained. over, their edges should be even, neat. It is possible to cut sidewalk tiles in different ways: figuratively, across, longitudinally, diagonally. It is important to remember that concrete is highly density. It is achieved thanks to the features of its production: granite crushed stone is added to the composition, the method of vibration pressing is used. Therefore, all procedures should be carried out with a special tool, observe the accuracy and correctness of such actions:

The volume of all works, as well as their complexity, largely depends on the desired pattern, the initial shape of the paving stones. Usually square or rectangular products are cut across (according to the previously made markup). To create multi.colored patterns from complex tiles, it is necessary to use significantly more strength. The corner cut, which ensures the insertion of elements into a single design, is most difficult to perform. It is made only with a hacksaw for metal.

Attention! Regardless of the method used, when performing the cut, it is certainly worth using individual protective equipment.

Without cutting paving stones, laying out a complex pattern on the site is almost impossible for Trotuar.Biz

Features of paving slabs

Special tile cutting tools.

Porcelain tiles or paving stones are used for decorative and reliable coverage of sites and approaches to the house. It is small elements of various geometric shapes and is most often made of concrete with the addition of granite wems. The most common are the following forms: brick, square, paving stones, wave, hexagon, Z-profile and some others.

When laying elements, a certain ornament is usually formed, which requires adjusting the tiles in size, therefore, cutting it into clearly measured pieces. In this case, the cut edge should be even; Otherwise, the entire conceived pattern will have a careless look. This condition is especially important for material with different colors, and this option is used quite often.

The dimensions of individual elements fluctuate in a wide range. Fast laying is carried out using tiles with a length of each side of 30-60 cm and 5-8 cm thick; And to create a certain ornament, elements with a size of 10-25 cm and a thickness of 2-8 cm are used. Most often laid the paving stones with dimensions 20x10x6 cm.

Cutting brick

Put a stone disk in a disk saw (preferably diamond. will not grind) and saw. I myself did not try it, but once they sawed the rail with a disc saw (the corner grinder was not at hand) with a cutting circle for metal.

There is an idea to use a end saw, only with a large disc, naturally diamond

I will say that the corner grinding accuracy for brick work is quite acceptable (plus/minus centimeter is easy and without training, but the brick should lie evenly, and not in a heap and not on the ground). It is better to cut it to the end, but to leave and break off a little. In the overseas my advice, find the table to the level of the belly, swing the iron corner for Kolka and the clamp for clamping on the angle. This is much more important than a saw.

Brick can be a little wet- dust is significantly smaller and it is not so flying. Protection of the eyes and respiratory organs is required. If you put the disk on the saw, be sure to clamp the gasket of cardboard or several sheets of paper, otherwise then unscrew the disk of the disk.

End saw as a tile?

Tell me, is it possible to replace the disk in a saw with a diamond on stone (for corner grinders which)? Interested in whether it is possible to apply the end saw as a tile cutter?

Can. But no need. Offhand: the landing dimensions of the disks are different. The saw is not protected from abrasive dust.Finally, cheap tile cutter costs a smaller shit, and safer.

There will be dust.u. You need it? Yes, and the resource of the disks will decrease, well, and the end with the manifestation will have to choose, and you can still think of a lot of things.

If you manage to “stick” such a disk on the end, then ditch the tool much faster than the desired.

A month ago I saw a saw on a wooden pile of wood, there was a desire to get such a thing, but not for work, but so that it was not possible, but it did not work out.

The toolkit wrote: but not for work, but so that there is,

What for? I saw Festool put down for this matter.

The toolkit wrote: there was a desire to get such a thing, but not for work, but so that it was, but it did not work out.

It seems to have found out that such discs are not for an angular grinder, but for artisans.

The disc was 100% saw for angular grinder, not as in the photo provided. I just wanted it to be with me, they are not taken officially (at least a sufficiently sufficient product), and they do not recommend (really not recommended) to put saw wheels on the corner grind. Something like that.

It is possible, but it is quite possible that this will be the beginning of the end, since the ending is not designed for abrasive dust in large quantities. Cut one familiar to the circular porcelain tile, putting a diamond disk. It ended that the bearings got up and the rotor burned down. He was ready for this, so there was no surprise.

How to cut ceramic tiles using a end saw

Although this is not the perfect tool for use, for cutting tiles you can use the end saw if you can install a diamond disk. Nevertheless, make sure that the blade is established so that it rotates in the right direction. If it rotates back, the blade wears out premature. The work will create a lot of dust, but the connection of a household vacuum or a wet / dry vacuum to the vacuum opening of the end saw will eliminate this problem.

Step 1

Mark the tile where you need to make a cut. The mark can be made by a pencil or permanent marker.

Step 2

Connect a household vacuum cleaner or a wet / dry vacuum cleaner to the vacuum hole of the end saw.

Step 3

Put the tiles exactly on the cutting surface and level the mark with the blade. Make sure the tile adjacent to the fence of the end saw.

Step 4

Turn on the saw and let the diamond blade accelerate to full speed. Cut the tiles slowly. If the tile is too large to cut it in one pass, turn it over and finish the section.

How to choose a end saw

What is a end.saw end.

The purpose of the end saw is already clear from its name. ending (in other words, transverse cutting) of long details: platbands, skirting boards, fillets, moldings, etc.D. The master unfamiliar with the end saw will probably be surprised. all of the listed details are perfectly cut by a circular saw, and if you need to cut off cleanly and at a certain angle, you can use a hacksaw and a stupid. So it is. it is a hacksaw and the knock is called to replace the end saw, for which it is sometimes called “electric stupid”.

Anyone who at least once had to combine platforms and plinths “in the mustache” knows that this is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. Without proper dexterity, even with the help of the same, to make the perfect cut at 45 degrees is not easy. And if the part is not flat, but complex shape? If this is a wide external platband or decor element and in any mock it simply does not fit? And if the front angle is not straight and it is necessary to cut it not at 45 degrees, but, say, under 57? And if you need to cut it at an angle to the vertical? Here, a hacksaw on a rotary bed will not help.

So it turns out at the junction of an ugly gap, which has to be covered with putty and mask the tint in the color of the details.

But with the end saw, such problems cannot arise, and any master who has tried this tool will never return to the strules and hacksaw. over, now on sale there are not only expensive professional models, but budget domestic ones, which are not much more expensive than a conventional circular saw, and at the same time capable of providing previously unattainable quality of the compound “in the mustache” of parts of any form.

What can the end saw?

Thanks to these capabilities, the end of the saw is very popular among builders, joiners, masters-fins, masters of baguette workshops, furniture and wooden collections. And in the workshop of a home master, a household end will not be an extra tool.

The device of the end saw.

The view of the experienced master will immediately notice familiar elements in the appearance of the end saw. the circular saw and the rotary bed under it. These are the main elements of the end saw. “Circular” is fixed over the bed on the lever, which allows to raise and lower the saw disk. Under the cutting disc in the bed itself, there is usually a groove where the disk goes when the thickness of the material is less than the depth of the cut. Some models have a limiter stopping the saw at a given distance from the bed. such models can be used to select grooves. The bed is fixed on a massive motionless base, guides are attached to it. Sometimes clamps are included with the guides, which allow hard to fix the processed part.

The device is not so complicated, but it is from what quality and from which material the hinge and beds, clamps and fixers are made, the quality of the cut and the price of the tool. In inexpensive models, these parts can be made by stamping of sheet metal, have backlash and allow distortions, which can lead to inaccurate cut and noticeable gaps in the junction. Dear models have parts of stainless steel and aluminum alloys, moving details in them move along clearly defined trajectories, without backlash, cliners and distortions. In addition, expensive models boast of additional capabilities and elements of configuration:

Characteristics of the end saw.

Power. One of the main parameters that determines the maximum diameter of the installed disk and, accordingly, the depth and width of the cut. It makes sense to choose power based on the alleged tasks. So, for the ending of interior platbands and skirting boards will be quite enough capacity of 1000-1400 watts. If it is also supposed to end with wide moldings and cut the parts at an angle to the vertical (this increases the depth of the cut), the power of 1400-1800 watts will be optimal. The same capacity range will be the most suitable for a universal tool. And finally, the construction tool will require the maximum disk diameter and the maximum engine power is from 2000 watts and more.

Do.it.yourself

The finished mixture can always be purchased at the store, but summer residents prefer to carry out masonry work using their own grsovka of their own manufacturing. The easiest and most affordable composition is a cement-sand mixture.

The material is spilled directly into the construction site and is thoroughly mixed. As an additional connecting element, lime can be used. For the mixture you will need 1 bucket.

To increase the strength of the masonry, it is possible to reduce the amount of sand, but it is important to remember that too much the binding element for the volume of sand can lead to a faster stirring of the masonry and the formation of cracks in it.

If the paving of garden paths is required, then you can do with the indicated proportions. If the tracks are arranged in a zone of increased patency (for example, at the entrance to the house), then to increase the strength of the masonry, it is recommended to replace the sand with small crushed stone. So the coating will last longer with increased loads.

Partueter tile laying technology for gartzing

The whole process consists of 3 stages: preparatory, device for fencing and laying.

Preparatory

First, the site is prepared for laying tiles. The existing cavities must be filled out, the tubercles should be cut off, the entire surface is thoroughly aligned and tamped, then geotextiles are put on top and pour crushed stone with a height of 10 cm.

Fence

This device is a kind of non.removable formwork. According to the marking of the future sidewalk, borders are exhibited, which are planted on a cement-sand mortar, trimming them in height with a rubber hammer.

If this is provided for by the project, then a storm system is installed on the inside of the border.

Laying

The components of the mixture are poured into the fenced area and mixed thoroughly. The resulting gratzovka is leveled, while the height of the layer should be at least 5 cm. Then the layout of the tile elements follows. Adjusting individual fragments should be produced with a rubber hammer. After the end of the laying, the inter.seams are sprinkled with a garbage mixture, removing it from the coating. Then the laid coating is recommended to shed water for adhesion.

The overall technology of laying paving slabs on a gantiax can be presented in the form of step.by.step instructions:

• Prepare the construction site: clean the territory of garbage, mark up for future paths.
• Prepare the foundation for laying tiles: align the surface with the help of a building level, compact the soil. Put the borders to limit the tracks at the marked edges, fill the gravel pillow there. Crushed stone is used fine.fractional. For better masonry, the base is covered with a geotextbook.
• Prepare a gartzer. Mix all components (it is recommended to use the concrete surface, not a container), pour the mixture on a cushion pillow, leveling the embankment. The height of the dry mixture layer should be from 4 to 7 cm, and along with the tile laid over the embankment, exceed the height of the border by no more than 1 cm.
• Dry backfill is recommended to compact additionally using a vibrational installation or vibration fuel. The denser the layer of the embankment is, the stronger the tile will grasp, and the coating will last longer.
• Before laying the tiles, a layer of a garbage embankment can be slightly moistened to increase the adhesive properties of the clutch surfaces and increase the masonry setting speed.
• Interpretation seams must be filled with a dry mixture with tiles and spilled with water for 3-5 days until the coating is completely setting.

In the proportions, the ratio of components for the curtain mixture will depend on the total height of the embankment. For example, for a layer of 1 mm, the amount of the mixture can be from 1.4 to 1.8 kg/m².

Than and how to cut paving stones and paving slabs at home

When cutting bricks, glass, cement, wood, plywood and other materials, you need to use protective equipment. It includes glasses, respirator, mask and headphones. The angular grinding device must be serviceable. Only high.quality cut circles must be applied. Discs and electric machines are examined before construction work.

How to cut a paving stones with a corner grinder

The tool should have a diamond circle so that it rotates to the master. Then dust and fragments will not fly in the face.

Cut tiles are folded separately, and garbage is discarded. When a paving stones of different shades, pieces are separated by each other.

How to cut a paving stones with guillotine

Guillotine is less accurate, unlike corner grinders. The tool can be cut the tile only in a straight line.

The device works silently, does not require special safety measures

Cutting paving slabs with a hacksaw for metal

The final stage of preparation of tiles for laying is the elimination of defects. Any noticeable chips are removed with a hacksaw for metal. The tool is a saw designed for cutting metal blanks. The device consists of a framework and sawy canvas. Scabbard is ideal for work with small tiles. With such a tool they work only with two hands. The device does not require compliance with special safety measures, it is enough to interact with it carefully.

Other methods of cutting

For cutting paving stones, you can use not only a corner grinder, but also a guillotine or a hacksaw. There are also electric and diesel files on concrete. They function in the same method as the corner grinder, but are additionally equipped with a comfortable folding chip. Thanks to the last part, a strong fixation of the processed material, the comfort of application is provided.

You can cut paving stones with different tools. This is a popular building material used to lay out personal roads, pedestrian zones, various sites. The tiles are quite fragile, which is why when installing complex areas, you need to choose the correct method of cutting it. Regardless of the method of the selected tool, you must clearly follow the instructions. It is also important to observe security measures, use protective equipment: mask, glasses, gloves. Then the result of the work will delight for many years.

Cutting processing

Regardless of the method of cutting the edge of the cut or knotted tiles will be uneven. This can cause the insufficiency of the appearance of the entire coating. Therefore, the cutting process must be completed by processing sections. There are several ways to eliminate defects:

• For small irregularities, you can use a grinding machine or sandpaper, in some cases the use of a file will be advisable;
• Large defects are best eliminated with a hacksaw for metal or cheap up with a chisel.

Paving slabs is considered a durable, but fragile material. Incorrect cutting can not only complicate the work on facing the site, but also increase financial costs, since you will have to mask the gaps and throw out the spoiled tiles.

The use of guillotine

The use of guillotine has certain advantages:

The tile is placed on the device platform so that the marking coincides with the gap. Its split occurs due to lowering the heavy knife of the guillotine to the surface.

Working with this tool, it is necessary to influence the entire area of ​​the lever, and not just on its edge.

Special devices

If there is such an opportunity, then you can use professional construction or rescue equipment. It copes not only with cement blocks, but also with reinforcing inserts in them:

• network or battery power saws in concrete;
• hydraulic or gasoline saws having a chain mechanism or diamond discs;
• Professional machine tools for paving streets and squares.

What to choose for the sawing. corner grinder or guillotine?

So, the most important part is cutting. It should be carried out strictly along the drawn line, firmly fixing the material on a flat surface. Which tool to choose? It is best to use a corner grinder, guillotine or a special tool for cutting paving slabs, but it is expensive and more suitable for professional work. If the volume of work is small, try using a hacksaw for metal. Let’s study the tile cutting process in more detail when using corner grinders and guillotines.

It is best for cutting paving slabs to take an angular grinder equipped with a diamond disk with a diameter of up to 23 cm. The power of the tool should be at least 2 kW. Cutting the material is very simple: firmly fix the tile and saw it with a disk, following exactly along the line. If during cutting you feel that the tool brakes a little, sprinkle the surface of the tile with sand. If you have to carry out a large amount of work, it is best to use a hylotine knife, which is a machine with a styling table, guides, a knife and a handle. Put the product in the gap between the knives and the surface of the desktop, lower the knife and “chop” the material. The important advantage of such a tool is that cutting is carried out quickly and almost without dust.

Whatever the cutting tool you choose, the paving stones after work will still have small irregularities on the surface. That is why the final stage of preparing tiles for styling is to eliminate such defects. Small irregularities are usually removed with a grinding machine, it is better to remove more noticeable chips with a hacksaw for metal.

Ceramic tiles. how to work with fragile material?

Working with such material is slightly more difficult, since one wrong movement can lead to damage to the upper layer of the tile and damage to its appearance. It is best to work with a corner grinder. And there is only one thing left. choose a suitable disk. Professionals advise using diamond cutters that are not afraid of high temperature, their use does not lead to mourning the edges of the tile coating.

There are segmented metal discs with grooves along the edges of the canvas. The outer edge of the product is covered with diamond chips. The thickness of the circle can reach 4 mm. the choice of the canvas in this case depends on the density of the tile. This option is suitable for both ceramic and concrete products. You can purchase a disk with a continuous edge without any zabin. They are made of steel, applying diamond crumbs on top. When working with ceramic tiles, it is better to use discs, the diameter of which is from 12 to 36 cm. The main advantage of such a canvas is that when cutting, the disk does not create a load on the paving stones, so that even thin specimens can be cut off with it.
