ᐅ Unfilled Poroton T9 36.5 cm - Which Brick Saw to Use?

Hello dear forum members!
I have been reading along here for a while and have received a lot of useful information. Now I have a question for the experts: We are going to build with unfilled Poroton T9 blocks (36.5cm (14.4 inches)), and I’m concerned about cutting these blocks. Renting a Jumbo 900 saw is extremely expensive—would an alligator saw (430mm (17 inches)) from a well-known yellow brand also work? I’m not quite sure how much easier the Jumbo saw makes the job or how often you actually need to cut blocks during the construction phase.
So: Does anyone here have experience with this?
Thanks in advance for your answers,
Best regards,
schroeder

We cut all Poroton bricks with a band saw. It works perfectly. Only with solid facing bricks is it not possible.
I think it’s a great method, and you don’t have wet bricks. It’s also faster and more precise.
