What is a Block Splitter?

A block splitter commonly called a block cutter, stone cutter, or even guillotine is used to cut or split 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.

Which is better Block Splitter 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 splitter 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 splitter.

Difference between using a block splitter compared to a power saw.

The main difference between splitting paving blocks when using a block splitter 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 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 Probst STS-43 block Splitter.
