Does this edger have a blade guide for ease of cutting along cement?

I just downloaded the product manual. It does not have an edge guard that runs along the curb to protect the blade from hitting it. For that reason alone I am buying the Black & Decker model.

Don't know about a blade guide as u indicate but it works very well edging concrete driveways and sidewalks.

Yes. We use this to edge along a curb and have no problem, although you may have to go in one direction only.

It has a plastic "site guide" similar to a skilsaw. You can see it as you site in the edge of the concrete. Once you get used to it, it is easy to do. Hope this is helpful.

Yes it does!!!! But I would go slow so you make sure the blade stays on the grass side.

No. That is why I gave this a poor rating. The edger blade gets destroyed quickly because without the guide you keep hitting the concrete. I go through at least 2 edger blades a season. I am about to donate it and buy something that works.

I'm not sure that it has a blade guide, but this edger is a breeze to use and is very light weight and not at all awkward to use. My husband mows the lawn and I edge it, that's how easy to use this edger really is. I have the easier job!

No, but if you want to trim it will. All you need is an exacto knife, ruler and a piece of concrete. If you are not sure you will do a good job, just order the shield/protective sheet for the correct device.

the blade is on the arbor. Haven't used it yet but it looks to be decent blade. Carbide, fairly thin kerf. But yes there is a blade.

It has a metal guide bar that hangs down and goes between the yard and the sidewalk. I keep just a little bit of sideways pressure on it to keep it against the concrete and it cuts a straight edge every time.

Yes and no, not if you want a really straight line. I recommend a utility blade.

Tom - I am looking for an edger with a fixed guide. You said yours has one - what make and model do you have? Thanks!

Yes it does, but it doesn't come with any blades. So you will need to purchase the blades you need. They do have a case of blades that meet almost any need.

Yes it does. I did 2 backsplashes and and about 200 sq ft of floor tile with the included blade.

I do not have t he tool at this site. It's less than 1/4" wide as I remember but greater than 1/8". When making a cut on cement siding I found that it is best to mark on back side and cut on that dide as well to make a cleaner cut.

I use this product to cut concrete all the time. Works great!! I recommend getting the diamond cutting blades from harbor freight tools. They are a lot cheaper, and you will go through a few of them. I actually just use this tool when I want to cut a straight line. Most of the time I use Hitachi G12SE2 4-1/2-Inch Disk Grinder. They both cut equally well and hold up great to hard use.

The guide works fine. Just be careful if you pull the edger backwards.. It tends to widen the cut if you are not real careful, and go slowly.

No, it does not have cutting blades. You have to trim the seam before serging.

Not strong enough to mix cement!! Go to www.bamix.com. Perhaps they can answer the question. This little baby handles a lot and is very easy to clean and change blades. just be sure to be careful and unpllug before trying to eisengage a blade. Leah Ford

Assuming one is using this for edging concrerte sidewalk, it will cut about 3 to 4" deep from the edge of the concrete (adjustable). Bear in mind this is a narrow blade of steel, and will cut a path/grass edge about 1/8" wide. A string edger will cut about 1/2 to 3/4" edge, with some variation. The McLane does have good position control, better than a string edger. The Honda will outlast the B&S; motor!

no, it is only an edger - I also found that once you use this first - you can also use a manual stick tool edger you can find at home depot, lowes, sears - it is a quick followup to the machine edger - side note, also be careful or use landscape markers where your sprinkler heads are or you will hit them like I did - hard to see in front of the machine - that is also why the manual tool is a good followup device too !

Yes, it does come with an angle guide. The guide rotates and does have an angle scale on it so you can make just about any angle cut you want.

I just purchased the Worx GT unit and love the way it edges my driveway and sidewalk. It cuts a sharp thin line about half an inch below the concrete edge and does not kick up a lot of dirt or grass clippings. It takes a little getting used to before you find the sweet spot for best results. I don't use my Sears gas powered edger anymore. Guess I'll try and sell it at the next garage sale.
