HOW TO CUTBRICK ? Brick can be used to make a walkway or support a

structure. Its durability and other practical benefits have helped maintain its use in construction.

Here are some ways to cut brick :

step 1 : Use a pencil and a triangular layout square to draw a line on each side of the brick at the place it will be cut.

step 2 : Rest the brick on the ground or in a sand bed. Place a chisel on the brick's marked line at about a 60 degree angle. Tap the chisel gently with a brick hammer.

step 3 : Hammer the chisel gently all along the marked line, alternating the chisel's angle from side to side to form a groove 1/16 inch (0.15 cm) deep all the way around the brick.

step 4 : Take a brick set or chisel and place its cutting edge in the chiseled groove. The brick set or chisel's straight side should be facing you and the side of the brick that will be used after cutting. Tilt the cutting tool's edge slightly away from the portion of brick to be discarded.

step 5 : Hammer the brick set solidly once with the brick hammer. The brick should split along the chiseled groove line.

step 6 : Use the chisel end of the brick hammer to chip off any excess remaining brick.
