Best Masonry Saw
Comparison Guide

Choosing a masonry saw comes down to three questions: What materials are you cutting? What's your typical job size? And how serious are you about OSHA silica compliance?

For most residential and mid-size commercial contractors cutting pavers, brick, block, and natural stone, the iQMS362i is the clear answer — 40% faster than a wet saw, fully OSHA compliant, and runs on any 20A outlet. For high-volume commercial jobs cutting CMU block and retaining wall stone, the iQ1550 is in a class of its own with its 8" depth of cut and 75 lb dust capacity.

Traditional wet masonry saws are increasingly difficult to justify — their lower upfront cost is more than offset by cleanup labor, OSHA compliance costs, and restricted jobsite use.
