i use one of these to remove the dust
i think we can all agree that dust is dangerous,but like you mick i find chopped blocks too rough
I know on lofts now we wear overalls and respirators when cutting celotex/kingspan
did it a few times without and your lungs/skin feel itchy for a day or two after,not good

R44,

That’s a good mask. Is it possible that air-borne water vapour produced when cutting wet can get into the lungs? Better to be safe than sorry.

Luton,

I’ve looked at those but the limited use, and depth of cutting on toothing, for example, cannot justify the cost. This would be far better (but no use for paving): http://www.priorityplant.com/ICS-680....m

For cutting pavers or flags, maybe this (110 mm cutting depth): http://www.priorityplant.com/Elite-8....337.htm

I’ve asked if a water supply can be attached to the last item.

I’ve no connection with the above company.

i wouldnt fancy catching a fishtail wall tie with one of those diamond chainsaws
i saw some crew from tottenham in action with them on the french embassy,they were cutting DPC into 600 mm thick walls
very impressive the blokes using them all looked like john rambo
very very hard work by the look of it
