Hand Saw What Cut Bricks

Even if your blade is large enough to cut the entire brick in a single pass, it’s better to cut in two or more shallow passes.

After measuring and marking your cutting line, simply line the cutting line up with the masonry saw blade, start the water flow and turn the saw on.

The cross-cut saw can cut in any direction but is much slower than needs be when cutting with the grain.
