Stone carving machine tool classification and selection methods

---

The classification and selection methods of stone carving machine tools, if you want to do good work, you must first sharpen the tools. In order to use the stone carving machine well, in addition to selecting good machines, the selection of tools is also very important. When we do different stone carving processing, we should choose the appropriate tool, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort.
Common stone carving processing has relief, engraving, line carving, Yin and Yang carving, milling, grooving, cutting, anisotropic arc carving and so on. Next, we will explain the classification and selection of stone carving machine tools, hoping to guide you to choose the right tools.

Alloy cutting tools features: They are made up of two or more metals with blades and lower prices.
1. From the point of view of application materials: alloy cutting tools are generally used for stone carving with hardness less than 5 and low, such as bluestone, white marble and marble.
2. In terms of carving methods, alloy cutting tools are generally used for lettering and line carving.

Brazing cutting tools: Artificial Diamond Particles are fired by electric furnace and other equipment, and attached to the surface of the tool rod at a moderate price.
1. From the point of view of application materials: brazing tools are commonly used in the carving of bluestone, white marble, sandstone and other stone materials; their use in granite is greatly restricted.
2. In terms of carving methods, brazing tools can be used on materials with low hardness, such as bluestone, for all carving methods, and on granite, they are mainly used for lettering, line carving and milling surface.

Sintering cutting tools: After melting copper, iron and other metals through equipment, and mixing with artificial diamond particles, diamond particles not only have the surface of the tool, but also have inside, the price is medium.
1. In terms of application materials, sintering cutters are commonly used in the carving of bluestone, white marble, sandstone and other stone materials, especially in granite.
2. In terms of carving methods, sintering cutters can be used in both low hardness materials such as bluestone and granite, which is suitable for all carving methods.

PCD diamond cutting tools: Cut and grind the tool rod into a shape, cut PCD diamond into blades, and weld the blade to the formed tool rod. The price is very high.
1. From the point of application materials, PCD diamond cutters are commonly used in the carving of bluestone, white marble, sandstone and other stone materials; they are widely used in granite.
2. In terms of carving methods, PCD diamond cutters can carve letters and lines on materials with low hardness such as bluestone and granite.

Advantages and disadvantages of brazing tool and sintering tool:

1. Brazing tool has only one layer of diamond on its surface. When the diamond on its surface wears away, the brazing tool will be damaged. There is diamond on the surface and inside of the sintering tool. Even if the surface is worn out, there is still diamond.

2. Brazing tool is not easy to deform, if it is broken, it needs customer to change tool. Sintered cutting tools are not easy to wear out, but the cutting tools will become shorter and the processing depth of stone carving machine will become shallow after a long time processing.

3. The strength of brazing tool is greater than that of sintering tool. Generally speaking, brazing tool of the same type and size is not easy to break, while sintering tool is easier to break than sintering tool.
