Hi,

I have the Roberts jamb saw and want to undercut the fireplace. I have the blade that came with the saw. Can anyone recommend a blade to cut mortar/brick? Or do I need a different saw?

Thx.

That little Roberts Jamby saw isn't going to cut it. You will do better with an angle grinder with a diamond blade mounted in it, and letting it ride on top of a flooring board as you push it along.

A Crain under cut saw with a dust port works the best.
