I am about to start putting down a Blue Stone pathway with random sized stones and I know I will need to do some cutting. I am planing on doing stright cuts, no curves.

I will be using a 4 1/2 inch Grinder and I am wondering about which blade to use. I have the option of a segmented rim (notched) or one that is continuous edge (no notches). Both are diamond blades and they are priced about the same. On the package for the segmented rim it states that it is for "faster, cooler cuts"; however I am "built for comfort not for speed" so faster is not necessarily better.

Any insight into how these two kinds of blades perform is appreciated.

... and thanks for your support.

The thing I've found is that the faster the blade is intended to cut, the sloppier the cut tends to be with that blade. I got a neat blade from a supplier that rips through pavers, but the cuts were so rough I couldn't use them.

I would go with the continuous blade. When we use a smaller grinder, that type of blade seems to work well for us.
