How best to roughen the edges of natural stone slabs that have been cut using a cut off saw

    When I lay natural stone slabs, if I cut the slabs, I use a chisel to chip the cut edge to make it rougher rather than clean and straight. Whilst this does work, I feel there must be a better way of doing this. Does anyone have any suggestions for a better way to achieve a rougher edge?

    Hammer and cold chisel is probably the way.

    I have a 4lb Scottish Dyker's hammer used for walling - mainly sandstone - guess it would roughen up edges of slabs...but it's heavy to use. A waller/mason's hammer might be better...it has an end specifically for dressing stone.

    A masons hammer has a chisel point on one side for chipping?
