Purpose-designed diamond blades can cut many types of rock, but “rock” is too broad a specification for selecting a blade. Granite, sandstone and other stones can differ in hardness, abrasiveness and structure.
Identify the material
Provide the rock type, dimensions and a representative sample or photograph when possible. Describe the cut and required finish. A name alone may not capture abrasive inclusions or variations within the material.
Confirm the tool and machine
Select a blade approved for that material, with the correct diameter and bore. Use the permitted cutting method and the machine’s guarding and dust controls. Do not use a tile blade on an unconfirmed rock application.
Trial and document
Compare edge quality, cutting behaviour and wear on representative pieces. Send results to the supplier before approving a production quantity or changing the specification.
Replace the word rock with a usable description
A photograph is useful, but it should be accompanied by the material and work requirements known to the buyer.
| Field | Example of the information type |
|---|---|
| Material identity | Named stone, supplier description or an explicit unknown |
| Workpiece size | Dimensions and the portion to be cut |
| Required result | Cut geometry and visible-edge requirement |
| Machine | Model and permitted blade dimensions |
| Sample evidence | Representative piece or photographs and trial notes |
Use the same material description on the sample request and production order. If the source of the stone changes, record that change before comparing wear or finish with an earlier trial.
