How to Cut Rocks
- 1). Put on safety glasses and gloves for protection before starting the project.
- 2). Position the rock on a suitable work surface so it is supported and will not move or roll.
- 3). Draw a line on the rock with a piece of chalk. Draw the line where you intend to cut the rock.
- 4). Place the edge of the chisel on the chalk. Position the chisel edge so that it lines up with the chalk line.
- 5). Tap the handle of the chisel with the hammer to begin forming a small crack. Continue to move the chisel point along the chalk line, tapping the chisel as you go.
- 6). Continue moving the chisel point along the chalk line to increase and control the crack that is formed until the rock is cut.
