Subject: Sawing through cement
At Historic New England we have a concrete sculpture that has been cemented to a large granite rock which is a part of one of our landscapes, and the surface of the granite is basically flush with the surrounding ground. We need to move the sculpture, and I am looking for techniques to saw through the cement without seriously disturbing the surrounding ground. A diamond or carbide impregnated line of some kind was what occurred to me, but I don't know where to get such a thing. Information or other ideas would be greatly appreciated. John D.
