Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a way to make a clean SAFE compound cut in a fire brick. I have a protractor accessory for my wet brick saw which works well to make wedge cut pieces for the dome wall but can't figure out a SAFE way to raise the brick off of the table at an angle to make a compound cut for brick pieces at the arch opening.
Has anyone made an accessory jig of some kind that can be attached to the sliding table of a wet brick saw that can SAFELY be used to make a compound cut in a fire brick? Or, maybe a process where two SAFE cuts can result in the equivalent of a compound cut. Some of the angles are looking to be pretty tricky cuts so other than a compound cut I may resort to making some free hand cuts with my grinder and a brick chisel, holding the brick in a vice to make a SAFE cut.
I know there's got to be a way but as Curly Howard used to say, "I'm trying to think but nothing is happening"
Thanks,
Greg in RI
