Although the product description says it's ideal for electricians, do you think I could cut concrete if I were to use a 4 1/2 in diamond blade?

yes but i think it would be slow if you have a little to cut it would work just fine

I've used this grinder to cut 1/2 in Hardiebacker when doing bathroom remodels. I use a cutoff/wafer wheel which isn't ideal for this use but it works. In my opinion it had adequate power but the fully charged battery lasted roughly 20 mins of almost continuous use (I cut about 4 sheets for a tub surround). So, to answer your question, I know it will cut concrete with a diamond wheel, but if I needed to use it continuously for an extended period of time I'd go with something corded which is the case with most battery powered saws/grinders. I hope this helps.

It can be used?, I got better results using a wet environment using a Cordless saw,. "If you use a corded Saw > Careful you don't electrocute yourself<". It cuts good, Don't put pressure let the blade cut as you move it. the Blade I got I cut over 400 pavers and over 100 stepping stones [12" X 12"]. hope this helps. Use goggles (I preferred a Face shield don't like my face getting hit by small pieces).

I haven't used it much, but it is small. Probably best suited for thicknesses of one or two pieces of stained glass stacked and cutting intricate shapes. Might be faster than all the cuts necessary with a regular hand held cutter. Other than that my suggestion would be a larger type wet saw with rotary diamond blade...maybe even industrial size with a 10 inch blade. Probably would be faster, and blade last much longer. Just my opinion though. best regards

Not sure. We are a pro concrete cutting and coring company. We use to break out cut concrete. But they do have quite a few attachments that may be used for more delicate operations. I'd google or check with online forums to see what's best if I were you. Right tools for the job is essential. You don't want to go whaling with a fork and spoon. Best of luck.

No. ideally, you would have someone mist the blade where it contacts the concrete as you are cutting.

You can use the diamond blade but it's more likely to cut the brick, a softer blade (composite) might be better.

If you need to drill into concrete firstly you must use a masonry bit, then the thickness of the concrete you need to drill would determine what drill is required, I haven't attempted to use my Black and Decker for concrete drilling as I believe that you need a corded power drill for this type of work and as I have a Makita corded drill I use that, however even this drill struggles on some concrete drilling jobs. So to answer your query I would have to say I think this drill would have it's work cut out to handle concrete drilling.

No, You need at least an 18 volt drill to effectively drill concrete and stones found in concrete.

I guest you wanted to cut into the cracks to make a big groove so that concrete can go in. In that case you don't need to cut deep into it. I use it to cut a 1" thick concrete without any problem. Remember to use a water hose to control the dust and prevent the blade getting to hot.

this is a planer, if you would use a power planer on concrete then go ahead, but be prepared to buy a lot of blades

This product is a wet saw for cutting tiles. It can be used to cut stone/pavers, but that is not its primary design. If you are intending to cut an entire wall's worth of stone, I would look to a more industrial product. Of course it also depends on the hardness of the stone in question.

I cut sheetrock, 2X4 and a 4X4 --- granted it is probably not the most efficient way to do it ---- I think it should work just fine. The only thing I have not cut with these tool is metal or tile -- but if I get the right blade probably will do it fine.

These bits are for concrete drilling. You will need a drill that will be able to take a 1/2" shank for larger bits . If you're drilling many holes go with heavy duty electric hammer drill. If you're a homeowner go with heavy duty hammer drill 18 volt or above. Hammer drills take a beating don't waste your money on cheaper models. Go with any heavy duty model bosch hammer drill either electric or 18 volt cordless and you will be able to use these bits.

no you cannot. you need a drill with a carbide tip for concrete. The best for concrete is a hammer drill and carbide bits.

It's a pretty hefty saw, so I don't plan on using it for cutting anything but concrete, block or brick. I know the blade that came with it can cut metal since I cut through an 8" concrete wall with 1/2" re-bar inside. No doubt a person could find a wood blade to fit it but doing that a lot could take out an operator's back since it is a heavy saw--there are a lot of lighter saws for buzzing wood.

i have not used my ps31-2a 12 for drilling in concrete, because i have a bosch hammer drill that does a great job in concrete. i would expect that this drill would work fine with a good sharp concrete bit, and drilling smaller holes. if you are planning to drill larger holes and deep holes, you should use a larger drill preferably a hammer drill.

I didn't use it in concrete, but I cut porcelain tile like butter. 6 holes in 3/8 thick tile and it is in perfect shape.. I am very pleased with it. use water with it . good luck.
