Answer 4

with an angle grinder fitted with a stone cutting disc, but then if you do not know then oerhap you should not do it as it can be very dangerous

Answer 5

Ensure you wear the corrective safety gear, mark the coping and cut using a diamond cutting grinding machine.

Answer 6

Be prepared when using a cutting disc for a lot of dust so be careful - don't do it indoors - and don't do it near your neighbours windows, washing etc.

Answer 7

hire out a stil saw with a diamond tip blade, make sure to check the blade before you cut the coping because if the blade is too worn, the saw will jump and not give a clean cut. also there should a connection to fit a hose pipe onto, the water cools the blade plus minimizes the dust.
