You think this saw might cut retaining wall brick, given I buy a proper masonry blade? Hillbilly

If it is anything like cutting ceramic tile, I would think a wet saw would work far better. But I have no idea how tough the brick is that you are thinking of cutting.

If you plan to cut a lot of brick this saw will be over worked. Why are you cutting brick with a saw, suggest using a chisal hammer used for brick work.

If the blade works on it yes. However it's only going to cut so far into it. I'd be looking at a different type of saw if I was trying to do that.

Not a good idea. You need a wet saw for that, with this saw the dust is going to get into the mechanism and damage it, the wet saws have a certain setup that makes them water proof. If you introduce water into this saw it will get into the motor.

I have used mine to dig up plants, big rocks and just this weekend tore down a sidewalk made of bricks, edge is still sharp. With its weight and length I imagine using a big file, while the tool is resting on a workbench will be best.

I bought it to cut ceramic tile which is much harder than brick. i have cur some slate with it, too. Although I have not tried it on brick I can't imagine you'd have any problem other than possible clearance (thickness) issues.

That depends on what you are cutting. So far, I have cut 100 pavers and 300 brick down the length of the brick. There is no noticeable wear as of yet. If you are cutting thick pieces of granite that are not going to need to be perfect on the face, then it should work. If you are cutting tile, where chips will be a problem, then no, it wouldn't be good. A smooth rim blade would be better for that.

Yes, with the correct blade... and I wouldn't make a habit of it. It is really built for wood and other soft materials.

Yes, This is a hammer drill that is excellent for drilling into masonry. Make sure you have a good bit and you should be fine.

hi Ed, i'm pretty sure you would want to get a 5/16 grinding stone for your saw chain. i'm assuming you have something like a ms 260 class chainsaw.

Yes, just measure where to cut and use a fine tooth (not course) saw blade.

I think you need a wet saw to cut granite or it will chip...I used it to cut slate stone that is much softer.

Chop saws that can use a carbide blade seem to be specific. I wouldn't chance it even if you found one that fit

that is exactly what I have, the overhead 'tile' saw, use it to cut firebrick for wood fired ovens and heaters. Worked fine till we burned it on a job doing 100's of cuts, then finally on some very hard high duty refractory, it was 90% gone by then anyway. Have at it..., OH, with the serrated (instead of continuous smooth edge..) blade, we careful, it will cut you much like a table saw, and the smooth edge is better for fine tile cuts...but not so important for firebrick, eh..!

I used a number of those already to cut bricks and concrete pavers and worked good. Concrete beam has rebars and the blade may not work or get damage easily, check the product specification.

This blade will cut aggressively bricks, concrete blocks, stones, paver tales, and so on, but not ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, glass, etc. If you try to cut these kind of tiles with it the edges will chip and will make a very rough cut.

I haven't tried it but maybe that's thin enough to cut. It cuts drywall like it's paper. I can see the blades getting dull soon if you continuously use it. Bottom line, probably.

I have never tried that with this drill, but from past experience, you need a hammer drill, or a box full of masonry bits because they will keep breaking.

Yes.. a horizontal or chop saw would be better if that's what you mostly plan on using it for however..

IMO you would have to purchase masonry bolts and drill into brick. The arm extends a good distance and it is a heavy mount.
