these are ketley blues in fact but same thing pretty much, im using them as a border edge, very expensive but very nice, not having much joy cutting them with my grinder, and i use a big 14" k1250 saw so i dont really want to be burning out blades, does anyone want to suggest a good blade i should be buying that really suits the job?

hey dan long time !
blues are the hardest brick going so i would suggest laying them with a mortar perp on curves
pulvex do excellent blades but any blade is going to struggle with staffs

hi tony, yep its been ages, hope you are well. i thought as much, might be better off cutting with cheap 9" blades then. sadly theres no avoiding these cuts to get the finish right
