Yesterday morning I was in down town to buy some diamond drills to finish a special work in a bathroom . Near the tiling tools shop there was a small group of workers that was putting down a paving block for landscape. Their was using a big hydraulic paving block cutter. It was incredible to see how the machine cut the paving block without any difficult! I asked to the layers which was the used of the machine and they told me that that hydraulic paving block cutter is ideal for Flag stone and retaining walls. The name of this machine is 3STR and it will cut any block, paving tile, slab or similar material made from concrete, stone, or granite. Another Montolit products!
I fond in internet some more details about this machine, maybe it will be useful for you too.
“The cutting height according to the thickness of the material is adjustable by a hand operated adjustment screw. The cutting blades are spring mounted to allow for a snug fit with the irregular thickness of the material surface. The hydraulic drive ensures the highest cutting results while the pressure release screw gives maximum speed & control over the blade to return it to its start position. While the material is being cut, it is held in position by a sprung platform to aid handling.”
I found two videos on you tube about paving block cutters. The first one is related with an electric block cutter, the second one with a manual paving block cutter. For sure the electric one is good but sincerely I prefer to have manual machine without the electricity problem and risk. The 3STR I think that is a good machine for landscape. You can use it without electricity on the road. For sure you can use a blade but what about the cost of the blade? Bye bye my friend.
