How to Cut Fieldstone | Homesteady
-
Determine where the fieldstone needs to be cut. Mark the cut lines on the fieldstone with a dark marker or pencil.
-
Place a diamond tipped masonry blade on a circular or tile saw. If you are using a tile saw, you may need to remove the protective cover from the top of the saw so the thick fieldstone can fit through the saw.
-
Cut the fieldstone with the tile or circular saw. When using a circular saw, prop the fieldstone up on something like a sawhorse while it is cut.
-
Finish breaking thick pieces of fieldstone with a hammer. In places where the fieldstone is thicker than 1 inch, the saw will not completely cut through it. Use a mallet or hammer to finish breaking the stone to size.
