I used my old circular saw with a concrete blade to cut a 24" square threw the 3-1/2" concrete... That's NASTY, isn't it? I recall doing something very similar once - the dust cloud was INCREDIBLE. It certainly wasn't a fun time, after making the first pass at about 1/4" I kept a jug of water handy and put some in the groove as I progressed, kept the dust to a minimum. Used cardboard boxes around me to keep the muck from flinging all over the room. I used a cheap circular saw, though it didn't seem to hurt it, I still have that one for jobs I don't want to use my dewalt on. Thanks ~Mike |

Thanks ~Mike One tip for anyone thinking of this, if you use your circular saw (or even miter box) with any type of 'friction' blade for cutting bricks or concrete, cover as many of the flat surfaces as you can on the saw with 2" wide blue painters tape . . . it's stop the sole of the saw (or the base of the miter saw) from getting badly scratched and nicked . . . . keeping it smooth for when it returns to it's intended task.  |
