Saxton R228BC Brick Concrete Cement Board Cutting Reciprocating Sabre Saw Blade

I used this Saxton R228BC 225mm reciprocating saw blade to cut a standard UK cavity wall consisting of outer red clay facing bricks and inner lightweight concrete blocks. I cut each wall layer separately using this blade on a Draper 1400W reciprocating saw.The blade handled both brick and concrete block cutting really well. It's not the fastest method, but in return you get excellent control and clean cuts. I was especially impressed that not a single brick chipped or cracked, which was crucial for my application — I needed a neat doorway opening inside a lived-in house, and dust control was important too.To get the best results:-I took my time, let the blade do the work-Maintained a straight, steady cutting angle-Cut from one side only at a time, not all the way through-Used minimal pressure, focusing on accuracyThe carbide teeth stayed sharp throughout and there was no noticeable wear even after multiple cuts through brick and block.Final thoughts:Highly recommended for anyone doing controlled structural cuts in masonry, especially for DIYers working indoors where precision and minimal mess matter more than speed. Would absolutely buy again.

Way better than I was expecting. Used to cut through mortar between bricks really easily. Cut out about 20 bricks still cutting like new.Did try to cut a red brick (1950 house) which are tough as…bricks. It has cut in to the brick but would take about 10-15 mins per brick as it’s very slow.I’d buy again, great addition to my saw blade collection.

Does cut and helped me with the project i had on my house to cut through bricks but It Doesn’t cut through brick like through butter others said in the reviews . Saying that it foes the job with a bit of patience

Not just a saw!!! This thing seams out masonry for fun!! Pilot drill a few holes in mortar and use your recip saw with this in and you will wonder why you hadn't bought one before!!!!

The best parts tanks👍

Bought to prepare my patio. Cuts through concrete blocks just like butter. The blade is thick and strong and just the job for cutting blocks and paving to correct size and shapes. Take care and wear heavy gloves for safety

I used this to cut a hole for window in mgt bathroom wall. It was great and easy on breeze block but bricks were harder to get through. The machine got hot too. It created dust but significantly less than an angle grinder. I only had 26 bricks to cut so although it took time, it was safer than an angle grinder being used on scaffold tower. If you've got a lot more bricks than a grinder would be quicker

Needed to cut a new doorway and this is by far the cleanest and least dusty method to use.Forget using an angle grinder or stitch drilling, a couple of pilot holes for the blade to slip though and this thing eats the brickwork with as little amount of dust as you will get.Also leaves a nice smooth surface ready for the door jambs.I've cut 2 door opening in 1950's cinder block and there's still plenty of life left in it.Have plenty of batteries on standby though as it's heavy work.
