Works great on retaining wall block [Posted on 2001-09-07]
This is a great saw for the serious do-it-yourselfer. I like its portability and fast cutting time. I dislike the amount of dust it puts out compared to a wet saw. At 65 pounds you can throw it in the trunk and take it anywhere. We have been using it on cast concrete retaining wall block. The original idea was to use it on the decorative caps, which had a 3" by 12" cross-section. However, it will get about 90% of the way through a block with a 6" by 12" cross-section if you want to split the big block. Cutting time through the 6" by 12" block was around a minute, answering my concern about the motor, which looked small. The surface finish is very smooth, to get rough faced cuts you will still need to split using a hammer and chisel or block splitter. Don't try to rig your own water system to the saw, the motor has an external filter and does not appear to be sealed. Dust may be a long term issue. You certainly want face protection, a dust mask, and hearing protection.
3 Years, 6 Retaining Walls and 1 long Paver Driveway Later.. [Posted on 2007-05-25]
I bought this saw 3 years ago. I have used it non-stop for the last 3 years cutting retaining wall stones, cap stones and to cut-in the soldier course for my paver driveway (all 300 feet of it). My neighbor is now putting in their own paver driveway and I am proud to be lending them this awesome saw. Consider this purchase money well spent.
