Abstract: A portable masonry saw comprises an upper frame assembly; a lower frame assembly secured to the upper frame assembly; a gasoline engine for driving a cutting blade of the saw, secured to a mounting deck; connected to the upper frame assembly; resilient supports on the bottom of the lower frame assembly for securely supporting the saw on the floor of a work area in a stationary position during a cutting operation; a plurality of wheels on the bottom of the lower frame assembly for transporting the apparatus when it is tilted to a and a transport position. The combined vertical height of the upper and lower frame assemblies is such that an operator may readily operate the saw to cut masonry materials and transport the saw on the wheels from a kneeling position. Resilient, vibration damping material is also provided between the upper frame assembly and the mounting deck to facilitate cleaner cuts.
