Chop Saw my dad purchased in 1998. He used it primarily for cutting brick pavers. He said it worked well but created a lot of dust. Obviously a tool to use outside and with a dust mask (even though my dad never used a dust mask for anything). He dropped this off at my house as he did all of his tools when he quit using them. I have not had a need to use this machine, so I cannot honestly rate it.

According to literature this was engineered and introduced in the mid 1990's for heavy-duty cutting applications, such as : steel, aluminum, and other metals. Not sure if it was intended to cut bricks, but it worked OK on them.
