FEATHERS AND WEDGES
A time-tested way to split stone, feathers & wedges are available in a variety of sizes. These shims and wedges can be purchased by the piece or by the set.
How to Use:
-
Drill holes along your split line at least as deep as your wedges are long and about 6″ apart.
-
The feathers and wedges should fit snugly into the hole.
-
The split line may be straight or curved.
-
For more difficult splits, be sure to drill the holes deeper and closer together.
-
Insert feathers and wedges into the holes.
-
Be sure the wings face the direction you want the stone to split.
-
Strike the wedges in sequence, firmly, but not forcing. Wait a few minutes, then repeat until stone is split.
