Hi Everyone,
Just thought I woulod share my way of cutting concrete blocks with a $95 cut off saw and a $200 diamond blade.
Also a chance to see if I can put pics up! Which I can't, can only post a link.
Makes lots of dust but it's not too bad with a fan in front and a vacum behind the wheel.
Cuts like a hot knife through butter. Found a 350mm RED blade from here, great store and great advice:

It's supposed to be used wet, blade life will be halved dry but should still get a couple thousand cuts, I need less than a thousand for my little project.
Could have hired a wet saw but this way I can take my time and get to keep the saw.
Will post more pics in a couple years when Iv'e made some progress with the paving!
Pics will take a few seconds to come up.
Steve.
