I need to undercut a brick fireplace for laminate, will this do the trick with the masonry wheel?

I would buy at least one more masonry wheel as a spare. Also the last undercut I made came out a little higher than the thickness I needed so be careful.

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.

I yet to use it on brick or mortar. However, the flush cutting on wood and laminate has given excellent results. This saw would be my first choice to try on your undercut.

That's how I'm using it but I think you're correct in that it can be used on masonry. I think the lag bolts that come with it are for masonry and the instructions refer to masonry instillation. But I've had no issues to date.

I would say yes but I'd use a masonry grinder. This is used for smoothing surfaces.

No. The downward impact may not be enought to break masonary. Buy the crafstman bolt-on hammer drill attachment, it will fit the B&D; matrix system and work on masonry

Yes, I used it for this application, worked well even with some slightly uneven bricks. Recommend using a towel or stiff brush to make sure you have a clean surface before applying.

that is exactly what I have, the overhead 'tile' saw, use it to cut firebrick for wood fired ovens and heaters. Worked fine till we burned it on a job doing 100's of cuts, then finally on some very hard high duty refractory, it was 90% gone by then anyway. Have at it..., OH, with the serrated (instead of continuous smooth edge..) blade, we careful, it will cut you much like a table saw, and the smooth edge is better for fine tile cuts...but not so important for firebrick, eh..!

You can but a Hammer drill would be faster. For small diameter holes with a masonry bit it will work if you take your time.

It is typically used with metal. I do not know how it will stand up as a masonry bit. Sorry, I cannot be more helpful.

That would work, but... please understand that the cable in this unit is THICK. It will take quite a bit of mortar to embed it. Do you really want to build up a half an inch of mortar on hardy board? I ended up cutting channels in a concrete floor using a diamond grinding wheel embedding the cable in the channels and then pouring the floor level with self-leveling concrete. It did work, but I would not do it again.If you are a beginner, I would HIGHLY recommend using one of the many excellent but more expensive mat kits. The mats are MUCH thinner and much, much easier to work with.I will also add that the thermostat in this kit does not fit any standard North American electrical box.

i'm sure it will but cutting masonry with a miter saw will not be good for your saw!

The particular set of three shown here are good for metal, wood and plastic. You can buy one that is studded with diamond dust that will cut masonry. I have one (more expensive) but haven't used it yet so don't know how long it will last.

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'm assuming you are talking about ceramic or porcelain tiles if so, the the answer is NO! You would have to use a ceramic tile saw or a score and snap saw. The Skil flooring saw could be used to cut laminate floor tiles.

Hello, The Hitachi CM4SB2 is designed to cut masonry products. Cutting wood is not suggested. Thank you, ACME Tools Customer Support

I removed brick and while my purpose was to create an access door and not salvage the brick I can say it could be done. I actually cut along the mortar joints as well as across the brick both very easily. One would still be required to clean up and remove the remaining mortar (depending on use of the brick) but it could be done.

Yes it will. I've used mine for drilling into mortar and concrete to hang things. Just make sure to use a masonry bit.

No, But It Will Work Fine On Brick, You Will Need To Pre Drill Holes With A Masonry Bit.
