Helluva way to ruin your brand new miter saw! I'm sure it'd work for a
while but it's not designed for that and will not last long. I broke down
and bought a cheap wet saw from Harbor Freight to do my brick projects and
it's worked great. I think it was around $189 which in the grand scheme of
things is not much (certainly a lot cheaper than buying two miter saws ---
one to replace the trashed one). The other option is to rent but I prefer
to own something so I'm not under too much time crunch on the bigger
projects. It would have cost me at least 2-3 times as much in rental fees
for a wet saw on my last project vs. buying the HF saw (Kiva fireplace).
