How to cut just the edge off of this concrete step?

Doing a minor sink replacement in the garage and naturally, ran into an issue when we removed the existing wood frame holding the old one in. We have one concrete stair leading into the garage that occurs over the concrete floor. To be able to put in a new freestanding cabinet to hold the sink, we want one with four legs that can fit in the space. However, if you look the right-hand edge of the concrete step, it overlaps the edge of the door frame by ~4”, with a height of 5” to the bottom of the step/top of the concrete floor. Now sure, we could cut one of the table legs to sit on top of the step where it juts out in a this one corner, but I would much prefer to make a clean cut and not modify the cabinet we use. I just can’t tell if cutting the step with a concrete saw (or other tool) would result in a clean cut all the way to the ground, and if that would result in an uneven surface once it was cut and pried out given the double stacked concrete. I don’t have any experience with concrete and am just curious as to the likelihood of removing that edge section cleanly enough to be level. Any thoughts from folks with more concrete experience? Thank you! submitted by /u/MadeinRenoByMistake [link] [comments]
