Dear Forum,

Can you tell me what kind of circular saw I can use with a diamond dry cutting blade to cut limestome? I have a 7.5" Circular saw but the manual does not say whether I can use a diamond blade to cut limestone. Will it mess up my circular saw if I do this or do I need a special circular saw? Thank you.

Subject to being safe otherwise, I would use a conventional 7.5 inch circular saw to cut limestone. I have a blade to cut my sidewalk later this summer. I will be using my old standby saw, and expect no problems.
