Cutting through cement, brick or stone can be very easy and your multi-saw will shine like a star when you use the right oscillating blade. However, for the toughest materials like rock, concrete, brick, stone, and grout, the best option is to use is a diamond blade saw.

What do you cut brick with?

A circular saw fitted with a masonry blade will cut both brick and mortar, producing clean lines, but with a great amount of debris. An angle grinder with a masonry wheel also will cut through both the brick and the mortar and allows for tighter angles.

Can an oscillating tool cut mortar?

The blade vibrates—or oscillates—back and forth at very high speed, making the tool much easier and safer to use than a circular saw, reciprocating saw, or even a jigsaw. It'll slice through virtually any building material, including wood, metal, drywall, cement, mortar, plastic, and fiberglass.
