  • A short video showing how a concrete block splitter cuts the blocks, the type of cuts it can do and how it can benefit someone to use one. If you are wondering how to cut concrete blocks then this is the best way!

      I’m jealous of your full length block one! I will need to upgrade one day as there’s so many times I need to cut a full block down in height

    Good to see one of these in action. Looks easier than doing it by hand

    just brought a belle maxi pave and its makes a massive difference for blocks and pavers, only need to use my disc cutter on small cuts or heavily curved paving areas

      Dose the belle maxi pave cut 100m blocks the same as the one shown on the video? Am currently Doing a lot of footing work & thinking of getting one to cut 100mm & 140mm blocks

    What about with Turfstone concrete lattice pavers? Will it break properly or will the break go sideways? In installation manuals the recommend a double-bladed splitter, but when I google this term absolutely nothing comes up. Do double-bladed splitters even exist?

      I’m not familiar with those pavers sorry. This splitter does have a top and bottom blade, the bottom blade is fixed and the top one moves - it’s cut pavers for me before. How clean the cut will be depends on how good the blades are and what the paver is like

    Hi can it split a 6" concrete block

    • @SamDaviesBuilder
      @SamDaviesBuilder  Год назад

      No it doesn’t adjust enough for a 6” but I’m sure someone makes a model that does

    Anyone know if block splitters would cut 3n lightweight cleanly or just end up crushing the block?

    • @SamDaviesBuilder
      @SamDaviesBuilder  5 месяцев назад +1

      I have not had a problem cutting any type of block on this so I would say its fine...

    Do you know if the belle minipave will cut concrete blocks?

    • @SamDaviesBuilder
      @SamDaviesBuilder  Год назад

      Not sure on that, I’ve used one for concrete house bricks before. I don’t know what the thickest thing they will fit in, there might be more details somewhere online

    Who makes these?

      I’m not sure of the brand of this particular splitter but there’s quite a few on eBay

    will they cut bricks

    • @SamDaviesBuilder
      @SamDaviesBuilder  2 года назад

      Yea but depends on the type. The bricks with 3 holes in won’t cut so well but a solid brick or brick with a frog is fine. Block pavers are also fine but depending on the type of paver it might not be the cleanest cut
