Cutting paver stones....
      #411981 - 04/19/05 08:10 PM

Im finishing up a paver patio and I need to make a few cuts on some bricks.
I used a 4in brick set and hammer on a few and it works 'ok'. the cut is really rough, but I was able to hide the rough edge enough so its not noticeable.

I went and bought a diamond edge saw blade tonight in thoughts of popping it onto my circular saw and cutting the brick.

Am I wrong in thinking that I can just use any ole 12v cicular saw(7in blade) to do this? Or do I need a special circular saw that is made for masonry labor?

Thank you.

The dust from the cutting will kill your saw .....thats why they use wet saws for this purpose

Why not use an 4"1/2 angle grinder i use a 9" grinder blades are cheap.
