{{Info|This table is used to cut [[rock chunk]]s into [[stone blocks]]. Stonecutting is a [[Skills#crafting|crafting]] task, but gives no experience points.  Each rock chunk will make 20 stone blocks, and the crafting skill level of the pawn does not influence the yield.  Stonecutter's tables are considered dirty, and have a [[Room stats#Cleanliness|cleanliness]] of -5.}}

== Analysis ==
Work bills can be created at the stonecutter's table for each kind of rock chunk, as well as a special bill that will use any type of rock chunk available.  In order to any of several types of stone block, it is easiest to create the universal work bill, and then select only the desired rock types from the list of allowed ingredients.

Chunks for the active work bills will be taken from anywhere on the entire map, even if they're not marked for hauling.  This can be avoided by reducing the ingredient radius on the work bills.  It is more efficient to create a dumping stockpile zone close to the work station, and adjust the ingredient radius accordingly. Especially when creating an infinite work bill, your pawns will eventually travel very far to gather the remaining rock chunks, unless the ingredient radius has been limited manually.

When setting up the work bills, keep in mind that the task count lists the amount of ''chunks'' that are cut, not the amount of stone blocks produced.  So in order to produce 100 stone blocks, a bill of 5 work units has to be set up, each producing 20 stone blocks.

===Production strategy===
Stonecutting is control by the cutting pawn's [[General Labor Speed]] stat, which is determined by a pawn's stats and capacities rather than any skills. Thus maximization is based on improving that stat and removing process inefficiencies rather than grinding. General labor speed is decreased by [[manipulation]] and [[sight]] values below 100%, and increased by both manipulation above 100% and improved [[Global Work Speed]]. Manipulation can be improved with [[Bionic arm|bionic]] or [[archotech arm]]s, or with drugs that improve Manipulation or [[Consciousness]] (as it directly affects Manipulation) such as [[Go-juice]] or [[Wake=up]]. Global work speed is only improved by certain [[traits]], such as Industrious, and the drug Wake-up, which stacks with the drug's manipulation improvement. Additionally, like many other production tasks, lack of light or excessive [[temperatures]] will negatively affect rates and up to two [[tool cabinet]]s will improve rates.  

Using [[shelf|shelves]] placed directly adjacent to the crafting position will remove travel time to pick up new chunks for cutting, as described on [[Shelf#Analysis|that page]], so long as:
# Sufficient haulers are present to bring chunks to them.
# The bill is set to drop the blocks on the ground.
If there are insufficient haulers, removing the shelves and instead positioning the cutting table next to the chunk stockpile is ideal. 

Placing an [[armchair]] or other chair will not improve production rates, but will ensure that the pawn remains comfortable and happy while cutting.
