Switched from wet saw to a grinder for brick arches

Used to drag out my wet saw for every arch cut. Messy, heavy, took forever. Buddy at the job site in Phoenix showed me using a grinder with a diamond wheel instead. Faster cuts, way less cleanup. Anyone else made that switch or still sticking with the saw?

That grinder trick works better than most people expect on brick.

I gotta say @holly63, when you said "better than most people expect" I had to read it twice. I've tried that grinder trick on some really stubborn surface rust and it just made a mess, like the brick was actually chewing up the grinding wheel. Maybe I used too fine a grit or pressed too hard, but my results were nowhere near what people hype up online. You must have found the sweet spot with your technique or something, because my experience was nothing but frustration and cleanup.
