My shop floor is 3 1/2 inches thick concrete that was poured on red clay that was packed hard and allowed to settle for a couple of years.
Only crack in the floor is where we stopped pouring one day and started pouring again days later.
Has had plenty of heavy tractors, trucks and other equipment on it.
Now to my question.
I am putting in a bathroom and a sewage pump to pump to my septic tank.
Wife has wanted a bathroom in my shop for years as her sewing room is off the back of the shop.
I need to cut a square hole in it about 18x18 inches and 2 cuts about 6 feet long to put in a sewer line and water line.
Both will be in the same cut about 4 inches wide.
I really don't want to rent a gas powered concrete saw.
I have several old circular saws that run and will rig up a large shop vac to collect some dust.
Will the concrete blades from Lowes or Home Depot do the job?
I know I will have to use a big hammer to break the concrete out of the cuts.
There is no steel wire or rod in the floor.
Thanks, Richard in NW SC
