Because I was using the Marcrist but it was sparking and turned blue due to a lot of the stone being very hard, used the Duro blades in the past and just happened to call in the merchants and they had them on display

Are you using an asphalt blade or a multi-use one Kuts?

They have a multi that cuts both well.
I was cutting through 50mm of hotroll over reinforced concrete like butter (full depth)

because of the rain friday night the laying course was sopping wet dan ,so we did it the tedious way
did another load of mitres on the corners,i like the mitres and it only takes 5 minutes each one
we sanded it and wacked and a fair bit of water came up
