    Cutting slab for drain.
    Any advice for cutting slab near the perimeter for 2" and 4" drain pipes so it doesn't break off at the perimeter?

    Hey Flick,

    I use a jackhammer for the heavy stuff but when I get around a area where a jackhammer could damage anything I put a masonry blade in my skill saw to complete the cut. Good luck, Tom

    You may even want to rent a heavy saw for the project.
