Back in my concrete days, our precast blocks could be mechanically fielded with a strange machine, which accepted the blocks of varying sizes, put them in some sort of order, then have diamond-tipped mechanical chisels take off the edges.
Although this was Derbyshire precast stone, (Mr Haart will be very cross at this), we used to ship tons of these blocks everywhere...

There's a term for preparing granite and other stone, which takes off the rough outer edgs of the piece.
But I'm damned if I can remember it!
Is it 'fielding'?
Fielded, rusticated and lots of others.
I usually term it pitched but I guess different terms in different areas of the country?
Thanks Thud!
