Is this the tool I would use to carve a shallow V-shaped channel in my concrete garage floor to catch the rainwater coming from under the garage door?

This grinder with the proper cutting wheel would allow you to cut a V-shapped channel in your concrete. keep in mind that without a good straight edge to follow you will have a hard time creating a clean V-channel with this tool. Consider renting a concrete slab cutter and cutting out for a trench drain. Most tool rental places can instruct you on which tool to use and their general operation. Another option to consider would be putting a re-fabricated transition strip to create a similar effect to the V-Channel but with no concrete cutting.

This tool is NOT designed for that kind of cutting. It is designed to flush cut door bottoms ,door trim, etc. When you need to raise the floor with carpet or tile, you must trim the bottoms so the door will open or the tile will slide under under. the jambs . This blade has a heavy spline on it and will not work like a circular saw. It is a special purpose tool. You might find a cabinet shop that will cut them for you for a few bucks. Much easier solution. Good luck.

Yes, and it worked great! Actually it was why I bought the tool. (Hint, I laid a thin sheet of sheet metal on the floor to portect the floor from accidental scratches & damages.)

Are you talking about cutting the bottom of the door jamb? For like new flooring? If so then yes this is an excellent tool when used with the flush cutting blade

Yes. Unless it's aluminum foil, I'd recommend a Dremel tool. If you're trying to score a piece of aluminum, this would work (briefly) but you'd be better off with a utility knife/box cutter.

Can't say for sure but I'd guess this would not have enough power to cut out grooves. This is more suited for surface marking. You need a rotary tool for that kind of thing.

Yes, it's a great tool for siding, windows, decks. Doesn't rip or destroy siding or shingles.

Yes it would,I used it to seal cracks in my watering can and on my gutters.

Yes this will work for you as long as you use a flat chisel bit to remove your tile. We use it all the time to break up well compacted ground when hand digging.

There are carbide and diamond coated blades for it that are stated to work in "porous concrete". I think it would work for cutting grooves and things like that, but the tool would be overpowered trying to cut through a concrete wall if that's what you need to do. For cutting through a wall, either a rotary concrete saw or drilling a series of closely spaced holes with a HD impact drill would work better.

It will prevent water from entering provided you have the rubber on garage door against your floor/slab even with no gaps or openings. If its pretty level you will be fine.

I would reccomend a hammerdrill instead. It is intended for drilling in concrete. They are usually function as a regular and hammer drill.One like this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0008ELQ0G/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1376105960&sr;=8-1π=SL75

Maybe - I used it to redo a chair - measure the depth and area you need, and while the foam cuts okay it takes a bit of work to make it cut very even

Hello Diane, Yes, this tool would be great for the job you described. It even comes with a tile cutting blade. Hope that helps!

Not sure. We are a pro concrete cutting and coring company. We use to break out cut concrete. But they do have quite a few attachments that may be used for more delicate operations. I'd google or check with online forums to see what's best if I were you. Right tools for the job is essential. You don't want to go whaling with a fork and spoon. Best of luck.

Never used it for that but just the straight chisel would work. This one is set at an angle to use on floor tile.

The previous answer is what I would say. The siding nailer is what you want. I have used it for cement clapboards and it works well. You'll have to play around with the depth adjustment to get it right.
