One, methods for cutting stone
1、Machine cutting
Currently, factories typically use infrared bridge cutting machines for cutting stone and stone materials. First, the cutting blades should be installed and adjusted on the cutting machine. Then, the stone or stone material to be cut is placed on the cutting machine's work surface, and after determining the dimensions, the cutting process can begin.
2、Hand-cut
If adjustments to the shape and dimensions of stone or stone materials are required on the construction site, a portable cutting machine is typically used to cut the stone. First, lay the stone flat, then measure and mark the desired dimensions and cutting lines, and then install the stone cutting blade. Cut slowly from the marked lines.
Two. important considerations for cutting stone
1、Before starting the machine, thoroughly inspect all moving parts and ensure proper lubrication. Many components require the addition of mechanical lubricants. Additionally, it is important to check the workpiece's secure fastening to ensure it remains stable during the cutting process, guaranteeing safe operation.
2. When cutting, it is best to add water. Adding water serves two purposes: firstly, it reduces dust dispersion, and secondly, it lowers the temperature of the cutting blade, thereby extending its lifespan and preventing deformation due to excessive heat. This improves cutting precision. Additionally, it is essential to constantly monitor the flow rate of the cooling water to prevent excessive wear or clogging of the cutting blade due to insufficient cooling.
3. When cutting stone by hand, use a handheld cutting machine with diamond blades to cut from the back of the stone. This is because, while cutting from the front appears normal, you may find that the blade has passed beyond the cutting line once the cut is deeper.
4. If any abnormal noise is detected during the cutting process, immediately stop the machine and inspect it.
