Most stone will split cleanly if the proper
breaking technique is used. Wedges and
shims have been used for ages and are still
among the most effective tools for splitting
stone. To use, follow these
simple instructions:
1. Drill holes along your split line at least as
deep as your wedges are long and about
6” apart. For difficult splits, drill holes
deeper and closer together. Your split line
may be straight or curved.
2. Insert wedges and shims into holes as
illustrated. Make sure the “ears” face the
direction you want the stone to split.
3. Strike the wedges in sequence, firmly but
without forcing. Wait a few minutes.
Repeat until the stone splits.
