rock crusher
Quarry grinding machine
A rock crusher is a machine that breaks large rocks into smaller pieces, gravel, or dust—used in mining, quarrying, and construction.
The term extends to anything with similar crushing power: That linebacker is a rock crusher.
In slang, rock crusher can mean a prisoner assigned to hard labor, from the stereotype of convicts breaking rocks.
