Skil-Saw (aka Circular Saw) amzn.to/2hrCegm
This is a SUPER dusty way to cut but if you don't want to buy a new tool and you are not doing a lot of cuts. This may be the option for you. The prices of diamond blades vary. You really do get what you pay for. Circular Saws are very handy to have and I use mine often. If you are into tools it may be best to spend a bit more money on a good one, as it's worth the investment.

I used this video to cut a number a bricks, each time it was a litter easier. I also poured a little water on the brick to knock down the dust and keep the blade cooler.
Well, you just saved me some money! About to pave a small section of the yard and thought I needed to get a brick saw. Thank you, clear instructions and to the point, well done!
This worked great thank you. When I was only cutting 1/4” from top and bottom I was wasting too many bricks that would crack. Cutting all the way down as u showed worked awesome. I used a 7” blade in my 7 1/4” circular saw; it cut perfect right almost to the bottom of the paver for a easy clean break.
What a helpful video. The direction of the blades was very helpful. I was able to fix the problem before it was a problem. Directions were easy and to the point. Thanks a million. Your demonstration got me doing something that I had been putting off, by making me feel that I could do it.
Small angle grinder is so much better at this than a circular saw. And much better control. Plus the blades are cheaper. Use angle grinder for bricks and small paving stones. And circular saw for long, flat, larger pieces of stone or concrete.
Yeah, he's using it like an angle grinder, and he's got his hand/thumb right next to the blade while he free-hands with the saw. Really stupid & unsafe. Folks, don't do it this way.
.. be smart.
Thx
Great video and great information
Awesome. I wonder how much cutting you can do with one of those diamond blades before it needs to be replaced.
This is why I love UA-cam.
Remember to wear mask against the deadly silica dust.
Great detailed instructional video.
This was a very helpful tutorial. Thankyou
I’m glad I came across your channel. Holy moly you cover almost every issue a home owner may come across! Pleasantly surprised. New subscriber. More videos please! Maybe some yard stuffs. 😬Also, would it be this easy if I wanted to cut the bricks lengthwise? I’m trying to do a stone veneer wall on the cheap and am looking for ideas. Any advice? Thank you!
ok, you show a picture of a diamond blade, but what kind of blade are you using?
Thanks I just need a few cuts, very helpful information
Good stuff. It never occurred to me to find a stone cutting blade for my circular. Going to save time and money this way. Thanks!
When making your first pass go backwards it makes it so much easier
great - just saved me using a chisel or hiring a big brick sawGood for small infill jobs.
Wouldn’t it be easier to push through the stone like cutting wood?
U have the much saw skill young grasshopper.
Thanks Adam great demonstration!
how many bricks for blades? I never realized I was putting the blades in the wrond direction
Can I not just cut bricks with my ceramic cutting diamond blade saw, and what about my patio stones?
will use a diamond blade on a mitre saw work the same?
Could I use 150mm (5.90”) saw to cut the brick? Thanks.
Thank you, @AdamDIY!
Great job! Problem solved!
Thanks. Quick and informative video
Good info right there man!
good point on the blade !
Is it ok to use water with circular saw? The diamond blade is wet/dry for circular saw but will water affect the saw motor it something?
Can you post a link for the rubber mat?
no problem amzn.to/2PRO8S7
Nice 🤔
Thanks. 20 mph winds now so I'm gonna start.
lol
Excellent, thanks to you.
Thanks for teaching. I got it.
Thank you!
Could you use a 18-20V cordless circular saw to cut pavers?
T Sizzle yes, a Milwaukee with a diamond blade will eat right through it!
Will a cordless saw work? I will try it, but during these times, I hope I can find a mask.
Cordless saws are good too, although they don't spin the saw as fast.
very nice ..
👍👍👍
Thz awwwesome !!! Thx for letting me know soo much 😃
why are you holding the guard up ?
Hi Adam, old video but looking for advice as seen you cutting bricks. A tradesman dry-cut some concrete slabs in my garden and now pebbled paths and lawn are covered in dust. I am worried it is not safe as can be inhaled if windy or walked on, and not a smooth surface that can be easily cleaned. How do you deal with that? Any advice?
Just hose it down
A rubber band can do the trick for keeping the blade open, be sure to take the rubber off before setting the saw down, very dangerous method though
Can you use a normal segmented diamond blade on these?
Yes
como cortador se muere de hambre
What blade are you using?
Look at the information below video its a link to Amazon to buy the blade, click on it.
Don't do this. Go to a rental place and get a concrete saw and get them to show you how to use it. This is so dangerous.
soft hands boy
@J1hadiJonathan in 10 years atleast I'll still have my hands. You pull this out on any real brick job you'll be laughed off site hahaha
Shouldn’t cut any paver with without a dustless saw. The dust from that paver is very harmful to your lungs
That's why you wear a respirator
Good Point Respirators are a great source when protecting yourself as an individual. However the best practices at least in the Puget Sound area are dustless saws. Preventing the spread of the dust itself around is the the point of the comment. That silica dust gets on your clothes around your equipment specially on that blade. Even after cuts are done breathing air around the project is damaging to your lungs. Even after getting in to your truck and driving home, if residue is on you, you will breath it in. Use dustless saws safer for you and your crew. If your a homeowner its safe for the people inside the house during the project and after. Plus using that all its doing is leaving a bunch of material on top of that paver. The moment he gets it wet it will create a slushy material on top of the paver that wont be easy to remove. I’ve worked in this industry long enough knowledge is everything.
It’s actually illegal to dry cut in my state.
Deafness and silicosis
Thats s5rong-
Just rent a real wet saw
