I am a total rookie with masonry, so I hesitate to chime in here, but, I will! I am not sure why using a wet tile saw with a diamond blade didnt come up here, but that’s how I cut my brick (both standard and fire). After a tremendous struggle with the angle grinder and the dusty miter, I borrowed a wet saw and it worked like a dream. It still eats through the blade pretty significantly when making a lot of cuts, and the 10 inch blade wasnt cheap, but I was super stoked with the result and the ease of cutting, and the virtually dust-free job.
On another note: My awesome HUSBAND often brings me an icy cold bevy when I am working, and even sticks around long enough in the 100 degree heat to give a few ooooo’s and aaaaaahhhh’s to cheer me on! LOVE IT!!
