What’s the secret to cutting firebrick? I’ve tried just about everything. I can’t find a saw blade with the correct arbor and blade size. I e tried the black grinding blade style and it barely put a dent in it.
Advice. Guidance. Appreciated.
Got it. Finally! Chop saw. And Dewalt diamond tip blade.

Yes, that’s the right tool for cutting ends or faces of entire bricks.
Keep your grinder rigged up for small cuts like notches. I also had no luck with a masonry disc because firebrick is too dense. A diamond wheel is much better and lasts a long time. Definitely requires work on your part though.
You are right Chop saw with diamond blade, saves a lot of time.
They cut better when they are wet (soaked) and with a water saw.
Agree for sure on soaking. I believe you use the tool you have—a masonry saw is great for this, and a miter or chop saw with the diamond blade is also great.
