Cutting pavers
I'm moving my firepit and installing a small paver patio around it. I'll be using concrete pavers 2" thick. Because of the weight the firepit will not sit atop the pavers. I want to cut the pavers on a curve where they will meet up with the firepit.
Any suggestions on how to cut a 2' radius curve in cement? I have cut pavers before but never a curve. I have a 7' diamond circular saw blade and a 4" diamond angle grinder blade. Is there a better tool for this?

For material that thin I use my grinder with 5" diamond blade to cut, that is a tight radii so it will probably take a little finessing to get the curve/edge correct. The good thing, you only need to get the top edge that is visible right, the rest can be what it is!

I use a circular saw and angle grinder with diamond blades. Most of the time I cut dry. I cut in from the edge up to the arc I've marked. Then I break out the flakes that I cut to remove the bulk of the material. Then use the grinder to clean up the top radius where it is visible. The hardest part is seeing my line. Even a nice bold, black magic marker line can easily get covered by the dust.
