Circular Saw

• Hand-held circular saws are the best tool for creating thin, straight lines in concrete surfaces. It often helps to have a length of two-by-four wood to act as a cutting guide. Circular saws are often fitted with diamond-tipped blades or masonry blades for engraving depths from 1/8-inch to 1/16-inch.

Engrave-a-Crete

• Engrave-a-Crete offers a wide array of power tools designed to engrave a variety of patterns into concrete surfaces. The Super Compact Cobra and the Lil' Beaver are multifaceted diamond-bladed tools that allow for free-form concrete engraving. The Mongoose 411 product line is useful for engraving geographic shapes such as circles and straight lines into concrete. Engrave-a-Crete's Sandroid is a sandblasting tool that can create intricate designs at varying depths, which can create a textured look.
