Stonecutter is the skill associated with the stonecutting labor. Stonecutters are responsible for smoothing walls and making rock blocks in a stoneworker's workshop.

Unsmoothed room (left) and a smoothed one (right).

Because blocks have no quality and neither do smoothed walls, having a skilled stonecutter is mostly a matter of speed; however, since your entire fortress is likely to start smoothing as soon as you designate an area for smoothing, it may be desirable to use the work detail for it regardless.

A single boulder will produce 4 blocks; blocks are lighter/easier to carry than boulders; blocks have a higher value than boulders, increasing the architectural created wealth of the resulting constructions; and block walls are more difficult to climb than rough stone walls. Blocks can't be used to make furniture, crafts or other stone objects the way boulders can, though, nor can they be used in reactions such as steelmaking.
