When working with stone engraving machines, it's essential to ensure your tools are sharp and properly selected to achieve the best results. A well-functioning machine paired with the right tools can significantly enhance your productivity and craftsmanship. Different types of stone carvings—such as relief, engraving, line carving, and others—require specific tools to optimize efficiency and precision.
Common stone carving processes include relief carving, engraving, line carving, Yin-Yang carving, milling, groove cutting, cutting, and opposite-sex arc carving. To help you select the appropriate tools, let’s explore the classifications and features of stone carving tools.
1. Alloy Tools: These tools consist of multiple metals and come with a blade. They're relatively affordable and suitable for softer stones like bluestone, white marble, and marble with a Mohs hardness below 5.
2. Brazing Tools: These tools have artificial grit particles fused onto the tool rod via electric furnaces. They’re moderately priced and ideal for softer stones such as bluestone, white marble, and marble. However, they face limitations when used on harder granite.
3. Sintered Tools: These tools are created by melting metals like copper and iron and mixing them with artificial grit particles. The grit is present both on the surface and within the tool, making them durable and versatile for a range of stones, including granite.
4. PCD Diamond Tools: These high-end tools feature diamond blades welded onto a shaped rod. They're perfect for hard materials like granite and are widely used for engraving and lining.
When comparing brazing and sintered tools, brazing tools have a single layer of grit on the surface, making them prone to damage once the surface wears out. Sintered tools, however, have grit both on the surface and internally, ensuring longevity even after wear. While brazing tools are stronger and less likely to break, sintered tools tend to become shorter over time with extended use.
For example, the C-series melting diamond grinding head knife is crafted using advanced military-grade technology, offering sharpness, high efficiency, and precision for carving marble, bluestone, and sandstone. The D-series integrated alloy triangular knife uses ultra-fine wear-resistant alloy, providing excellent lettering effects. The E-series PCD polycrystalline diamond knife, featuring imported blades and vacuum welding, ensures durability and is ideal for engraving granite small characters.
The F-series sintered diamond grinding head is perfect for granite milling, boasting a long lifespan due to its multi-layer diamond construction. Lastly, the G-series diamond four-edged knife is suited for small granite characters and line engraving, offering a longer lifespan.
