I'm grinding off the sharp edges of the Canadian Flagstone walkway.
It was the wrong choice in material and tends to split in layers when breathed upon.
Hastily done originally because I ran out of working weather after being jerked around by the local stone company all summer.

Large gaps of 1-4" plus a continuous rain of tree litter means that the weeds grow back regularly.


The 4.5" grinder with masonry wheel is very slow. Even with hustle I'm only able to do 4-8 per hour. About 80 more to go. Math.
There is a fan close by to blow the dust away. Dirty work.

So I bought a HF 7" to speed up the process. Second trip was to get grinding wheels instead of the ultra-thin(and dangerous) cutoff disks I accidentally grabbed. Third trip was to return everything. Another day wasted driving.

The 7" wheels they sell protrudes slightly past the guard. I want to keep my body intact thank you.
They didn't sell masonry wheels for their 9" angle grinder.
Oh well. Back to the grinding board.
