How Do You Cut And Drill Through Concrete Blocks?
Concrete block is among the most widely used construction materials because it is a strongly built rigid material. Concrete block may need to be cut for partial wall sections or openings or drilled to accommodate electrical or plumbing lines. The properties of concrete blocks can make these alterations seem difficult, but the right tools and directions make this task a simple one that can be completed by almost anyone. Measure and mark the cut line on the block using the tape measure and pencil; use a framing square if you need to cut a straight line. Lay the block on a stable surface (ground, table, etc.), and put on your eye protection and ear plugs. Line up the saw blade with the cut line and start the saw and slowly push the running blade to the block surface. Gently guide the saw as it cuts through the block until the cut is complete; you may have to stabilize the block with your hand or foot to keep it from moving. Measure and mark the hole location to be drilled on the block usi
