I realize there is a cut-flat option from the vendor, but there is already a 50lb box of Marco rock sitting under my desk waiting for a home. I've got a shallow tank coming in a month or so and would like to make use of some pieces in part of the tank to create a lagoon look. I've thought about tile saw, but some pieces are 7-8" in diameter and not a clean circle or easy to cut 180º. I've thought about some other hand-powered options, but if someone has a better idea, that has done this, please fire away.
 
Only thing I can think of is a band saw if you have access to one other than a hand saw I'm not too sure
 
Never tried it but maybe a skill saw/circular saw? I use one to cut aluminum.
 
Get a wet saw for cutting concrete. Should make quick work of it
 
Hammer and a flat head baby!!! Lol na these suggestion are good. Clean cuts w brand say and can fit a pretty decent rock through it
 
A band saw will give you a clean flat cut, & its gentle & safe as far as using a power saw goes.
 
I think a miter saw would also work with the right blade and a spray bottle of water

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
