I was thinking about buying a diamond tipped blade for my circular saw to cut pavers. Does anyone have a recommendation on what kind of jig to build to hold the pavers stable while cutting?
I was just thinking of screwing two strips of wood parallel to each other to a plywood base and slide the paver between the strips but eventually the strips will get all cut up - is there a better way? Or are the strips sacrificial and I will have to replace them regularly?
The strips can be replaced but I would rent a good saw and save your circular saw. They're just not made to constantly cut through pavers.
In fact, I can't remember ever seeing another company use a circular saw for a paver job. Why? Because it's not the right tool for the job. My Makita has been with me for 24 years now and one reason is because I only use it to cut wood ( it even got left in a wheelbarrow full of water for 2 weeks ).
Or try this: Rent a table saw or such, they're not hard to use. Cut through the first 25 pavers with your circular saw and then use the other saw. I guarantee you'll slap yourself in the face for trying to use your saw.
