I've been thinking of buying one myself, for all these harder to frag stony coralsSent from my N9560 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefrun Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I've actually used a chisel and hammer to break up rocks with success, but some are easier than others and you can't decide exactly where it will break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMeyer Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Im a big fan of Dremel with diamond cutting wheel for massive colony types. You can cut surprisingly small and neat frags with this, and a screwdriver to pop off the frag once cut. After making a lot of favia and acan frags in this way I have no urge to use a bandsaw. And this is waaaay cheaper... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also been successful with a chisel/flathead screwdriver with hammer but like you mentioned, it all depends on the rock on where it will break.

And this is waaaay cheaper...I hear ya on it being cheaper, for sure and great for cutting around acans/favias and such but I have a rock about 14" long 5" wide and about 6" tall. I need something to cut big chunks and that's where, I think, a bandsaw would come in handy. Good advice tho on the dremel...
