Will this saw cut masonry, such as to cut a hole in an exterior stucco wall to install a doggy door through the wall?

Absolutely, just need the right bit. The question would be what would the depth of the cut be and is the blade long enough to cut through what you want. If it is close, may be cut from both sides??????

There is a diamond saw blade for it that might work, depending on the thickness of the masonry. Using water as you go will help lengthen the life of the blade. I'm not experienced with this, however. I would probably recommend a hand grinder, instead, with a diamond saw blade. Drizzle water as you go, and be sure to run the grinder slowly.

As long as it isn't too deep of a cut. I would say, without going out to my workshop, that the blade will cut about a 1 1/2 to 2 inch depth. If it's thicker than that, then it wouldn't work well. For just stucco, however, the cutting bits will also cut through stucco, and they may give you a little more depth than the blade.

Absolutely, I've installed 2 of them through wallboard (on the inside) out through a stucco exterior wall. The unit comes with a sleeve which is installed through the wall. The AC unit slides into the sleeve. You will have to be willing and able to make the cut through the wall. There are instructions that come with the unit.

yes, just have to be careful. It has been quite handy. I have successfully cut molding around a window. I also trimmed door molding to open up for a new floor board. Just fine. the tiny vibrations are intense, but not too violant like a recip saw!! With a steady hand, it is quite possible. I would not use thie for large jobs.

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.

Yes. The only thing you will need to cut is the runner that you install to hold up the door. It only takes a hacksaw.

Yes, I use a diamond blade to cut stucco, tile and granite. Ok for little and thin stuff, otherwise use an angle grinder with a diamond blade, or a circular saw with a diamond blade.

I use this saw in exterior finish and cutting interior trim where th casing meets the floor. Its a pull saw--you have to be careful

Yes it will. I've used mine for drilling into mortar and concrete to hang things. Just make sure to use a masonry bit.

yes , i installed mine in a new metal patio door. start outside and drill the holes as directed. then jig saw with a metal blade. probably won't go all the way. thus using the holes drilled thru saw the inside. they must be exact to get the right fit. you will need two people to get it lined up right, then the rest is easy. It is a great door. we have 3 dogs and its in and out a hundred times a day. seals it self every vtime. it is a bit noisey at times, but it does let us know when they go out. hope that helps.

Yes, this will work better than a hole saw. Just punch a center point first to avoid the "walking" effect when drilling.

Have not used it in masonry, but it seems powerful enough to drill at least small holes with a good masonry bit.

Hello, The Hitachi CM4SB2 is designed to cut masonry products. Cutting wood is not suggested. Thank you, ACME Tools Customer Support

No! This is a very jagged toothed knife. Originally for dry wall cutting I believe and I use for garden roots when digging for planting.

Yes it can. I had to for my installation. It is somewhat hard to measure but cuts with a hack saw.

I think it should, I have used mine all over the house, just don't forget to use a masonry bit made for concrete

I haven't tried to use mine for masonry yet. But the hammer drill function works great for starting screws in metal roofing so I don't see why it wouldn't work well for masonry work. This is a great drill with incredible torque and battery life.

stucco is a form of cement and as long as it's not too thick, these will work for one or two holes. they are designed for wood. a pre-drilled pilot hole might aid in a faster cut.
