[TheForge] gas powered cutoff saw

[Bruce Freeman]

You have to change blades between steel and bricks.

I don't know how much you have to do, but I'd try using an angle
grinder first.  If that won't do the job, then scale upwards.  I've
never had need for more than a 4.5" angle grinder, though I'm not
doing what you plan.

I use a 14" electric cut-off saw in the shop - much cheaper than this
gas-powered job.  (It could cut brick with the right blade.)  It's
probably also lighter weight, but not intended to cut below grade.
Bricks would have to be placed on its bed for cutting.

OTOH, I'm not real keen on gas engines.  They're finicky and need
care.  Electric motors don't.

The total lack of evidence is the surest sign that the conspiracy is working.
