Carrerahill Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I have this sandstone: What is the best way would you think to section it up into 4" blocks? My plan was to use a diamond disk to scribe round it, then just use a 4" bolster and split it off like you would split concrete block. They are to be used as a feature facing brick.

Nope, if you can score 3 sides, sharp bolster hits (not hard enough to break it) to the 3 sides and then crack it and it will break pretty cleanly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
