I'm building an Allen Block (cement) retaining wall and need to trim a

I'm wondering if a 14" chop saw would work if I were to put a diamond
blade in it.
RPM and torque may be a probem. The one I'm looking at (Porter Cable)
is 15A with an RPM of 3800.
Will it work?
Thanks for any comments, Gary
not without ruining it from the dust. try a tile wet saw

A very good application for a HarborFreight tool. I wouldn't hesitate
to use my 10" HF SCMS (it was fine for what I bought it for) or an old
circular saw. If he dust gets to it, no great loss.

I just became a harbor-freight dude.

check out their 10" wet saw-

for $250 it aint bad- and when you're done you should be able to get
$150 for it easy- though you might decide to keep it once you use one
for a day.
