what is the difference between segmented and turbo segmented brick saw blades?
Nov 15, 2007 by saeuta | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
all the ads seem to say is that they cool and cut faster but what are the detriments?
There are no detriments. They just remove the debris more efficiently for faster cutting.

Can circular saw can be used to cut pavers brick/rock?
Feb 26, 2006 by ruhul | Posted in Garden & Landscape
I am trying to make a patio extension using hexagon paver brick. these are very common and can be found at Lowes. Now I need to cut them. I think it is probably best to use wet saw, but is there other blades or saw type that I can use to cut it.
If you have more than a few pavers to cut, you need to rent a wet saw. The rental center will measure the diamond blade when you rent the saw and measure it again when you return it. They will charge you for the "use" of the blade. Diamond blades can be very expensive, but they are essential if you have a lot of pavers to cut.
If you do decide to use a circular saw, construct a cutting table to which the saw is fastened. You can then pass the paver through the saw rather than trying to pass the saw over the paver. Other answer is right, you will eat up carborundum saw blades very quickly. Do not attempt to use a diamond blade because they require water cooling and your circular saw simply is not made for that kind of use.
Good luck with your project.

I saw the film Brick last night. What old movies should I watch for comparison?
Feb 09, 2009 by Lazyitus | Posted in Movies
It was a great movie! My sis told me to watch the Maltese Falcon. Any other suggestions?
the maltese falcon is a good place to start. others include chinatown, out of the past, or anything based on books by dashiell hammett or raymond chandler, such as double indemnity. basically anything in the film noir sub-genre/style

Can a regular electric circular saw be fitted with a blade to cut a brick?
Nov 23, 2007 by dragonsiu | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
Yes masonry blades are available, but beware the dust created ruins the saw it gets into the bearings. If you plan to cut masonry frequently use a saw intended for this purpose.

Can I cut brick pavers with a mitre saw? It isnt top of the line- just the $150 Ryobi I got at Home Depot...?

Also, if you have any other ideas about do it yourself pavers installation (free online resources? :-)) please let me know! It's a small 6' x 6' area enclosed on three sides by a wall and one one side by a sidewalk. THANKS!
Yes, I did for my paver installation. I used a 10” $99 miter saw from Lowes. Some Tips:
1. Use eye protection, ear protection and a mask, silica dust is bad for you lungs, (read that as, can cause cancer if breathed in a lot).
2. If you have to cut more than about 4-5 pavers, pony up and buy the segmented diamond blade, for the average 10" saw that’s about $80 bucks. Wet cutting will save the blade from wear, but for such a small area, you don’t need to worry, one blade will more than cover it, and water will damage the saw, use the face mask and cut dry.
3. Do your homework; understand the steps for laying the pavers, digging out the foundation, screeding the sand, and what kind of pattern you want to lay, etc. There are plenty of sites online for this.
4. Start with a 90 degree string line and the straightest edge you have (wall or sidewalk) and lay as many uncut pavers as you can. When you get near where you need to add a cut paver use a pencil and a strait line (ruler or something) to mark the paver and cut with the top of the paver up. If the paver is long you may have to cut half and then flip it and cut the other half. Do not precut a paver as some will be a little off, cut as needed.
5. When all the pavers are laid you need to sweep sand in the joints and you may use a power tamper (rent one) on top of old carpet or a large piece of cardboard to tamp the pavers down or a hand tamper, but the power tamper will give better results. Good luck.
