Can A Miter Saw Be Used To Cut Brick?

No, a miter saw should not be used to cut brick as it is designed for cutting wood and other softer materials. Attempting to cut brick with a miter saw can damage the blade and create a hazard. Instead, a diamond blade masonry saw or a angle grinder equipped with a diamond blade is recommended for cutting brick.

How Do I Properly Store A Miter Saw?

Properly storing a miter saw involves taking a few precautions to ensure its longevity and effectiveness. Here are some tips:

- **Clean it thoroughly**, wiping off any sawdust and debris
- **Secure it in a dry place**, such as a garage or shed, with a cover or case
- **Remove the blade** and store it separately to prevent damage
- **Lock the saw in the downward position** to prevent accidental injury or damage to the blade
- **Use an appropriate extension cord**, and wrap it properly to prevent tangling

By following these steps, you can ensure that your miter saw stays in good condition and ready to use for your next project.
