What is Stone Cutting?

An essential part of masonry and building work, stone cutting involves the safe and efficient cutting of stone for a variety of different jobs. Stone cutting can be particularly demanding for industrial projects or when working with bespoke natural material, where ensuring that the materials are cut correctly and safely is absolutely essential to ensure their integrity.

Some common stone cutting processes include using machinery such as gang saws, water jets, diamond wire cutting, and more. However, when it comes to securing a balance between cost-effectiveness, efficiency, and safety – it is difficult to find a better solution than a gang saw, utilising Ervin steel abrasive grit, to get the best finish. This works to minimise errors, reduce risk to operators, and keep costs down by recycling shot as needed.

What types of stone can be cut using Ervin’s abrasives?

Deploying an abrasive based method can help with managing a wide range of stone types. Chief among these are hard wearing types such as granite or marble. The density and hardness of these items makes it incredibly challenging to cut them through conventional means – introducing the risk of cracking and damage.

Utilising an abrasive based method also helps with cutting hard wearing artificial materials such as concrete, cement and other options – making it a versatile option in the toolkit of many professionals.
