if the paving is damp you can mist the KDS in with a hosepipe,but you cannot wack or drive on it unti ll it has dried
you shouldn't be losing that many cuts Paul,is the splitter blunt?
drive line 50 are fine
are you putting your block over the border and trying to make the cut from above?
I find it easier to remove the border,lay the body over the area where the border was then mark my cuts with a straightedge
put the cuts and the border back at the same time
cheers LLL

Driveline 50's are the easiest to cut, being thin - I would suggest the blade is blunt.

It's been an awful day and got nothing done except cut about 40 blocks in half using the grinder in the shelter of my garage door.
Naturally everything is soaking wet. I have still got to finish the cutting-in and apply the jointing sand before wacking it down. Will the bad weather adversely affect my bedding sand.
I probably won't get to do any more until the weekend when hopefully the weather is a bit more like Summer

Gotta keep going. You've reached the part of the job which takes most of the time. The snags. I used to hate snagging, always seemed to take longer than the bulk of the job.

Sounds like you are marking/cutting the blocks individually. LLL tells either remove the intermediate border blocks, mark with a straight edge and cut in situ with the angle grinder, or measure back from the border, mark your line and cut. I know using the angle grinder is possibly now illegal in the UK (wet cutting only), but it's how I did many a border.
