Default Masonry blade

I did check at the stores for blades, and they are all over the board on
prices. *From $40 to $120. *For cutting 2.5" pavers, and mostly tile, what

What else do you need? Goggles like swimming goggles that completely
seal the eyes, at any store that sells swimming stuff has them cheap,
a real respirator for dust, not just a dust mask. A cloth painters
hood used for spraying paint, it covers your head. Ive seen guys
sawing and someone else is using a leaf blower to keep the cutter from
being engulfed in dust. The dust is real nasty. If you can hook up a
garden hose to keep the brick wet that is best. My neighbor had a
contractor doing pavers, the dust coated cars 80ft away and it coated
1/2 the windows on my house. Water is best to keep everyone happy.
