A rotating brick saw has an enclosure which substantially surrounds a rotating saw, a sliding table which carries a brick into the saw and tracks on which the table slides. The enclosure has an opening at its distal end and a pit beneath the opening for collecting sawed particles. The sliding table has a wiper at its distal end to wipe sawed particles along a base of the enclosure into the opening and pit. A door closes an opening at the front of the enclosure, and the door has a flexible wiper at its base which wipes the table as it slides outward of the enclosure. A chute on the door guides sawed particles downward to the table and through an aperture in the table into a pit near a proximal end of the saw enclosure. The rear wall and front door of the enclosure are sloped inward to further aid in the deflection of sawed particles toward the particle-collecting pits.
Brick saw apparatus comprising a frame having a base, track means mounted on the base of the frame for limiting movement of a device moving on the track, slidable table means mounted on the track for reciprocating movement forward and rearward along the track, enclosure means mounted on the frame and partially surrounding the track and sliding table for gathering sawed particles, the enclosure means having the base underneath the track, circular saw means mounted in the enclosure above the sliding table and being oriented parallel to a direction of table movement, an opening means in the base at a distal end of the enclosure means for receiving sawed particles from the enclosure means, and a pit means connected to the enclosure means beneath the base in communication with the opening means for receiving sawed particles from the opening means and the table having a flexible wiper means mounted on a distal end of the sliding table means and extending downward from the sliding table means to the base of the enclosure for wiping sawed particles rearward toward the opening means.
