Cutting advise for 38mm Yorkstone

Rocks100 · Mar 26, 2022

Hi all, just wanted to ask for some advice please as to best option for cutting 38mm Buff Yorkstone steps and slabs.

I will be cutting 1500mm steps length ways for the risers along with 600x600 slabs.

I was looking at hiring a Flex CS60 with rails but not sure if that will do the job or if there is a better option, I would like to make as least mess as possible if there such a option, also there isn’t much space on site.

Many thanks in advance!

These are the steps:

Hi, thanks for the reply, we do have one but am concerned won’t be able to get that straight cuts along the steps as they are 130cm long hence I thought having a guide rail with the Flex saw would be a better option?

Thanks

Cuts edges would go to the back. Or are both edges on show. ?

Do you have any pics of your project?

What’s your intentions with the handrail?

Ok i see its more bespoke work entailed. A rail saw and diamond pads required

Hi, planning to remove the rail and modify it with help of a welder to make attached on the side of the stairway as don’t want to make holes in the steps.
Thanks
