Brick veneer that is in place and needs to be cut, such as to create a new opening, is usually cut with a circular saw and a masonry blade. For smaller cuts, an angle grinder and cutting disc can be used.
Some saws are specially set up for masonry cutting, and spray water on the masonry while they cut, to keep the blade cool. Do not try to do this with a saw that is not designed for wet cutting. It may short circuit and electrocute you. Bricks that are not in place can be cut with a saw or grinder, and some can be cut by being struck with the right hand tool (like a bolster) applied with a skilled hand.
