I'd like to split some retaing blocks in half, so that they would be half
the height of the original blocks. These would become capstones for
another project. The stones are 4" high by 8" deep and (9" and 6") wide.
I'd happily pay someone to split these for me (30 blocks) assuming they
did a decent job and I could not buy a machine cheaper.

Any thoughts on the right toy to cut these? I gather something wet would
be best, but anything I've seen would require two cuts. An 8" depth of cut
is required. The 14" cutoff saw looks interesting, but would still require
two cuts and be a tad dusty.


Thanks, but they don't make capstones for these blocks and I want to match
them to a nearby retaining wall. The stones are to cap a pond. Believe me if
I could buy them I would. Maybe I'll have to settle for close.

Blocks are concrete for those that asked.

After the first block is cut you'll settle for close, maybe even not close.

Or he could go for complement, or even accentuate. It's all in the
verbiage.
