I've looked through the archieves and don't see where we've discussed this.

I'm wondering which saw you guys use when making a tight inside curve cut on exposed stone?

When we build a free standing stone seating wall, we usually cap it with bluestone flagstone. Besides having to cut the sides of the pieces to make the curve fit, we cut the front and back of the stone to get a smooth radius. The outside cut is no problem with the 14" cutoff saw.
The inside radius is a different story. Since the edge is exposed, it has to be a nice smooth cut.

So which saw/blade combo works for you?

I use a 4" or 7" angle grinder with a diamond blade for these kind of cuts. Works real well for tight curves and detail work.

Depending on how tight of an inside curve you may want to try an electric circular saw or an angle grinder with diamond balde. If it does not come out perfect I found that a cup grinder will clean it up nicely. I gleaned the cup grinder idea from this board and it has been one of the best and cheapest tools added to our arsenal.

We use the 4 1/2" angle grinder with a diamond blade too.

I use my angle grinder on almost every job.

I have heard from some of my customers of them putting a 10" blade on the cutoff saw when making radius cuts...And I agree from the recent demand for 4" cup grinders that they are a good inexpensive addition to your tool box...
