Wet-Cut Retaining Wall Blocks with Masonry Saw

What happens here

Connect a water source to the masonry saw, ensuring continuous water flow over the blade during cutting. This is essential for dust suppression, blade cooling, and to achieve a smoother cut. Align the saw blade with the marked line on the block. Start the saw and slowly push it through the block, following the scored line. For deeper cuts, make multiple passes, gradually increasing the depth until the block is fully cut. The video shows using both the Milwaukee cordless saw for initial cuts and a Husqvarna gas saw for larger sections, demonstrating that different saws can be employed depending on the scale and type of cut.

Goal: Perform wet cutting of the marked retaining wall blocks using the masonry saw. Wet cutting reduces dust, cools the blade, and results in a cleaner cut.
