  1. Drop a slab of bluestone. It will break it into big chunks, which you can use for a walkway through a garden.

  2. Use the wet saw to cut the pieces you need for the edges of the walkway.

  3. Use the 4.5-inch grinder to cut curved lines in the bluestone. The smaller blade makes cutting on a curve much simpler. The grinder also is much more portable than the wet saw. Curved cuts help you make bends in the walkway or sidewalk.

Warnings

Always use caution when operating power tools.
