Serious question, has anyone else had a brick saw blade just stop cutting halfway through a job?
Happened to me yesterday on a patio in Tacoma. My 14-inch diamond blade on the Stihl saw started making this high-pitched whine and wouldn't bite into the paver at all. I checked for binding, but the motor was fine. Ended up having to finish the cuts with a chisel and hammer, which added two hours. What's the usual life you get out of a blade before this happens?

Check your blade for glazing, it sounds like it got too hot. In my experience, a good blade should last through a whole patio unless you hit rebar or something. Let it cool down and try a dressing stone before you give up on it.
