Aric,
I used my Skillsaw with a 7 inch masonary blade to do a 10x10 patio (about 25 
cuts) with hex shaped blocks.  What I found worked best was to score both sides 
of the block about one half inch deep, then support both edges of the block and 
bump it with a 2lb. hammer.  This method worked for cuts as narrow as 1 inch 
from the edge of the block (using 2 inch thick pavers). Used up three or more 
blades, but they are cheap.
Good Luck
Ron Schoenherr

... Looking online I saw suggestions for using a masonry blade in a circular 
saw.  Is this the best route?  If so, do I cut completely through the block or 
only score it on one side (or both) and whack it with the hammer?  Cut wet or 
dry?

Thanks for the help.

-Aric Datesman.
