I once saw one posted on the TT forum, but I can't find the post!
They are expensive and so I would be tempted to hire one first to ensure it is suitable  _________________ DIY | DIY Video |

If you look down the page a bit you can see I asked about one once! I managed to borrow one from a mates firm for a weekend to cut some sections through a block wall.
It was just as dusty as my Stihl petrol cutter. It wasn't as noisy, but no where near as powerfull or as comfortable to use. _________________ http://www.carhartt.com/ |

| I used something similar to cut out a doorway once, it's a cumbersome machine, very hard to get straight cuts and is also very dusty, like a standard cutter would be. |
