Is there a trick to creating a clean break when halving bricks?

If you use a grinder or steel saw that will do the job perfectly but please make sure you are careful with the grinder they can be very dangerous if you have never used before. Hope this helps.

You can use a grinder to create a clean cut half or paving saw or a block cutter or use a hammer and bolster and strike both sides of brick

Depends on what type of brick your using if you need a clean edge all the way around a large grinder or stone saw is recommended

Yes a block hammer and bolster an hit it on line gently the hole way around the brick

Eric · Answer

Hi , just mark the front in the middle of the brick and turn it over and hit it one !!! Should half cleanly !!! With being a bricklayer it comes naturally by just hitting the back using a brick hammer , or turn the face around and use the side of the brick nice and square .
