Summary
A profession that splits large stone blocks in quarries using hole drilling, wedging, and sometimes blasting to produce raw stones for construction materials.
Description
Quarry large stone splitters handle large rocks in quarries, drill holes using boring drills, then split the stones using wedges or blasting charges.
