Default How to cut bricks?

I am covering a patio with bricks, laid in sand. In order to cut
starter bricks and to follow a curve, I need to cut about 20 bricks
along the short dimension (4"). These are "split pavers", 1 1/4"
thick.

I have a 7" circular saw. Can I use this saw to cut brick


Yes

and what kind of blade should I use?


For your quantity, go to a hardware store and buy a masonry blade for a
dollar or two. They are a bonded abrasive disc about 1/8" thick - sort of
like a thin grinding wheel. Cut outside, they throw lots of dust.

Be sure the one you get is for masonry, similar ones are available for metal
cutting.
