How do I cut a rock ?

[lsingh]

I am looking to create an aqua scape from this tonga branch base rock and wanted to know which cutter blade or tools I require to make a neat straight cut on this branch rock

If you're trying to get a clean cut a lot of people use wet tile saws. Well those that have one or have access to them. Not me! ;)

I usually use a screwdriver and hammer to create and break!

If no wet saw and trying to be precise then go to harbor freight n get a cheap grinder o dremmil* to cut a little bit into it n the get ur screwdriver and hammer n hit it.. Should break perfect

U can always be a caveman and drop the rock on ur patio lol

^^^ thats what i do. Make sure when u throw it put a nice spin on it so its extra random lol

Me too.
I also use wood chisels.
I found a 4 pack of them at Harbor Freight for around $5.

Band saws works nicely

Soak the rock in water . Then cut it with a hack saw . Cuts like butter !

Hack saw. It's very easy to use without soaking as well.
