Split brick lengthwise

[sole_oggi]

I wonder what is the easiest way to split a brick. I want to split the bricks so they keep the length but the width goes from 12 cm to about 6 cm.

Angle grinder with a diamond blade. Use it outdoors somewhere where it doesn't matter if it gets insanely dusty.

A bricklayer would probably use a bricklayer's hammer, but that requires a bit more sensitivity to the material to get the stone to split as desired.

split a board..
attach the angle grinder and run several at once

Bricklayer's hammer is a bit tough in that regard, in my experience.

I have solved it by tracing a couple of centimeters with an angle grinder on both sides using a regular cheap 115 mm stone disc (Bosch) and then breaking it with iron in the groove and mallet. A safe and cheap method but not for mass production. Being outdoors is a must when the angle grinder is to tackle bricks, as mentioned. The dust is not something to play with.

If it works with a stone saw, it is definitely the fastest. It probably depends a lot on what type of brick it is though.
