A granite cutting setup should be checked as a complete system. There is no universal feed rate, diamond concentration or RPM that works for every granite blade.
Check the specification
1. Identify the granite. 2. Confirm slab thickness. 3. Choose a blade approved for the material. 4. Verify machine diameter capacity. 5. Match the bore and mounting system. These details should be fixed before ordering samples.
Check the operation
6. Inspect blade and guard. 7. Respect the marked speed limit. 8. Use the approved cooling and dust-control method. 9. Support the slab correctly. 10. Stop if vibration, binding or damage occurs. Follow the equipment instructions for the actual cut.
Check the result
Use a trial piece to compare finish and wear. Record the material, machine and blade reference; this helps the supplier distinguish a selection problem from a setup problem.
Record the result of each granite setup check
A checklist is useful when it shows what was checked and what remains unresolved. Keep it with the trial record.
| Check group | Evidence |
|---|---|
| 1–2: granite and thickness | Material reference and measured workpiece thickness |
| 3–5: blade and machine fit | Blade specification, machine model and mounting details |
| 6–8: condition and operating method | Inspection and the applicable instructions |
| 9: support | The approved workholding arrangement |
| 10: abnormal behaviour | Any stop event, observation and follow-up action |
After the trial, record accepted edge quality and any rework. This connects the setup checks to a purchasing decision instead of leaving them as an unsigned list.
