Question

full brick, so I want to cut them into tile . that way I would also get two tiles for every brick, so I doulble my brick reuse. What kind of saw will cut antique street bricks? Do I have to buy or rent? Would so appreciate some direction in this! :)

Answer 1

You can rent the saws and use a wet saw.  You'll cut outside and then bring the pavers in.  I assume your floor will support half the load of the full brick.  Good luck.

Answer 2

You should go and rent one. At the store they will give you a couple of options, wet or dry saw. I would go with the wet saw it will cut down on dust and clean up afterwards will be a breeze! Best of luck on your project!

Answer 3

still saw with a diamond tip blade the saw the bricklayers use wet cut could stain your brick  if not get water can when you hire still saw. petrol 2 stroke oil mixture for saw . other option table saw would be easier if you have lots to cut ,still saw fast perfect cut if you have under 30 cuts . rent don't buy .!!! talk to local builder and see if there is a cheap and easy method to strengthen the floor to save all the pain staking cuts .Theres more than one way to do things .Good luck.

Answer 4

Your local Home Depot or OSH should have tile saws.  They also have mider saws.  Take a brick with you to the store and speak with one of the store employees that specializes in brick and tile work.  They will make sure you get exactly what you need and will help you figure out if it is cheaper to rent or to buy the saw you need.

Answer 5

You need a brick saw not a tile saw. I wouldn't recommend you doing this yourself.Look up the International union of bricklayers and allied craftworkers and you may be able to get local apprentices to do it for you for free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
