will the saw cut brick?

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.

I never used it on brick, but I cut a lot of masonry pavers with no problem

Yes, if you're careful and patient. I used this saw to put together a model train table for my kids and did quite a few flush cuts in the process. I have sliced things as thin as 1/8" using this saw.

This is a tough saw and should be able to do it. I have not actually tried it myself.

Hi, I do not think that the plastic blade will damage brick or cement walls..however, it may scratch or make small marks on the "veneer" brick as the material is much softer. SO it you have to trim near by the brick veneer or cement walls be careful and use the plastic blade at the shorter side. This means do not put the plastic blade too close, If the spool feed gets shorter you would have to tap the spool feed on the ground [while the motor is running] so that the spool would extent or release the plastic blade. OR you can manually release the plastic string to the length that you desire. I hope that helps Hi, I do not think that the plastic blade will damage brick or cement walls..however, it may scratch or make small marks on the "veneer" brick as the material is much softer.

The short answer is, yes. However I think you will run through a number of wheels before you get the job done. Are you cutting the brick or the laminate? If laminate, no problem. Just make sure you have the room to maneuver. If brick, an angle grinder might be a better alternative fitted with a compound blade.

There is a masonry blade included that could probably notch tile but probably wouldn't get too many cuts out of it...are you referring to tile already bonded to a substrate?

I would say no. The speed of the blade is critical to each type of blade and the design of the saw is specific to the blade type.

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've cut 24" granite tiles, porcelain, etc, bricks, rocks (geodes), if the blade is good, the cuts can be made. I have not cut pavers. Assuming they would be 1.5" thick? I believe the saw can handle that depth, slowly, but check Dewalt's web site for details on the saw just to be sure.

Bought this item as prep for decontamination . doubt it would hurt brick unless homemade brick.

It will cut glass but might not give the clean sharp line you want. I would prefer to use a wet saw especially for smaller pieces. This cutter is fine if the edge of your cut will be hidden (as in a corner) or covered by mortar or caulk etc

Caleb... i haven't opened the box yet, so i can't speak from experience on this saw. The product description says it will cut stone or ceramic material up to 1-3/8-Inch deep.

I didn't have a masonry blade, but I tried several others with no luck. If the blade will cut it, this saw should do it. I ended up using a grinder with a cut off wheel. It did the job.

The saw is capable and has plenty of power, depending on you putting the correct blade on it, it will do fine, assuming that you are not cutting 1" hard steal.

Technically it probably could since it can do some cutting tasks but I would not recommend it. There are other tools much better suited to that job - like a coping saw.

See Jane's answer. While the saw wasn't made for that purpose, with the correct blade, it should not be a problem.

You can use the diamond blade but it's more likely to cut the brick, a softer blade (composite) might be better.
