Thanks, Gatorb888.
Although I purchased the 745 for cutting / ripping wood, I asked about the possibility of cutting through manufactured block because I think I noticed a blade for the 745 that is the 10" version of a 4" blade I have on a hand-held mini-saw.
The 3 1/8" limitation is easy to work with: I can simply flip the block and finish the cut. Since the block will only be used for outdoor applications, imperfect cuts are fine.
My concern is with two issues. First, would the saw have enough power to get through the block? Second, would the dust from cutting block / pavers / brick be especially damaging to the saw?

Is it possible to cut through solid concrete block (4"x8"x12") with the DW 745? If the answer relies on a specific blade, please tell me the type of blade required.

Thanks, also, for your post. I'm doing quite a bit of outdoor landscaping, including much work with blocks and pavers, so I'll likely splurge and get a saw designed for cutting through such material.
