What is a Belle Block SPLITTER?

A block Splitter or commonly called a block cutter, stone cutter, stone splitter, or even guillotine is used to split or cut most small paving elements such as paving blocks, slabs, and stones. Once split the block will be left with a nice clean straight edge ready to be laid in position. the Minipave is a heavy-duty manual splitter designed for block paving splitting, perfect for both large commercial projects and small domestic projects such as driveways and pathways. Has a cutting blade length of 400m and can cut block pavers up to 120mm thick.

Difference between using a Belle Block Splitter compared to a power saw.

The main difference between splitting paving blocks when using a block cutter over a power saw basically comes down to the amount of dust and noise created. A power saw will be noisy, not a good idea to use it first thing in the morning or if working late into the night, and the dust created is high if used properly some sort of dust suppression equipment should be used. If a manual block splitter is used, firstly the dust noise created by the split is very low in comparison, but the biggest difference is the amount of dust generated is very low and no dust suppression equipment will be required to comply with government guidelines when it comes to controlling dust when cutting paving materials. another point to consider when using a power saw is the constant changing of cutting discs and even the lifespan of a power tool will be a lot less than a quality block splitter such as the Belle Minipave Block Splitter. 

Which is better Block Cutter or Power Saw?

This argument amongst professionals has been discussed for many years and will continue for many years, and contractors are split 50%-50% - some prefer the manual block cutter while others will choose the Power saw. If using a power saw to cut through a block it is as simple as following a marked line set on the block, and a standard block will take anywhere between 15 seconds up to a minute to cut by a trained contractor. Using a block cutter will take a lot less time, probably only a few seconds, but it takes more skill to learn how to use a block cutter.
