Final Break and Finishing

What happens here

After scoring, position the chisel on the scored line and strike it firmly with the hammer/mallet to cleanly break off the desired section. For long breaks, you may need to strike along the line incrementally. Once the piece is separated, examine the broken edge. If necessary, use the chisel to carefully chip away any small, irregular fragments to create a relatively straight and presentable edge, simulating a natural stone appearance. The video shows separating a long, thin section, resulting in one piece with a clean, straight edge and the other with a rough, textured edge, characteristic of stone veneer.

Goal: Perform the final break along the scored line to separate the stone veneer piece, then inspect and clean the edges.
