Using tools like a hammer and chisel to split marble requires careful technique to avoid damaging the material. The primary goal is to control the fracture line. The method involves first scoring a clear guideline on the marble's surface with a chalk line or pencil. Then, a masonry chisel is placed firmly along this line. Striking the chisel with a hammer-using controlled, moderate blows-creates a stress point.

The key is to work progressively along the entire line, deepening the groove with each pass, rather than trying to break it in one forceful hit. This gradual process encourages the marble to cleave along the intended path. For safety, always wear protective goggles to shield your eyes from flying stone chips, and wear gloves to protect your hands.

While effective for basic splits, this manual method is best for smaller projects or rough cuts; for complex shapes or fine work, professional wet saws equipped with diamond blades are recommended for precision and a smoother edge.
