Flooring – find a cheap diamond stone-cutting blade for the Dremel Multi-Max

fireplaceflooringlaminate-floorpowertoolsproduct-recommendation

I'm getting ready to place laminate flooring in a room with a brick fireplace. As per Mike's recommendation here, I'd like to use my Dremel Multi-Max tool to cut a space in the base of our brick mantle for the laminate boards to fit under (giving it a cleaner look). .

The only problem now is that the stone-cutting blades I've seen at Home Depot are a bit pricey ($25 – $35 for a single blade). Is there anywhere I could find the blades for a cheaper price? Are there alternate blades I can use from different manufacturers? Or does it have to be made by Dremel? I would assume that the connection type is proprietary in design and only dremel blades will fit on dremel tools.

This online store has them for $15.90 each, and claims to be compatible with Dremel Multi-Max.

EDIT: Taking shirlock's advice in mind, the right tool for the job can make all the difference. I did a bit of searching, and DeWalt has an angle grinder for pretty cheap - only 4x the cost of the multimax blade! Ryobi has one for about half that price too.

Masonry wheels for it are fairly cheap as well. (Although shipping will get you - might want to go to HD or Lowe's for these.)
