- Granite Slab Production
From Granite Block to Polished Slab in One Tooling Programme
The granite slab chain has seven tooling decisions in it, and they interact. A fast sawing choice that leaves a rough surface loads the calibrating station; an aggressive fickert leaves marks the polishing heads have to chase. This is how we specify the chain as a whole.
The 7 Decisions in This Chain
Block cutting
900-3500 mm block blades with segment specification set against your saw power, or loose segments if you re-tip your own.
Slab sawing
Multi-saw blades supplied as matched sets so kerf and diameter stay uniform across the spindle, with multi-saw segments for re-tipping.
Calibrating
Diamond rollers from 400 to 600 mm bringing every slab to the same thickness before the line.
Rough and medium grinding
Magnesite abrasives for rough calibrating and metal bond fickerts on 140 and 170 mm bases.
Fine grinding
Resin bond fickerts leaving a finer scratch pattern so the polishing step has less to correct.
Polishing
Polishing buffs and flexible pads for the slab face and the profiled edges.
Edge and cut-out work
Bridge-saw edge cutting blades, cup wheels, profile wheels, finger bits and core bits in the fabrication shop.

Granite Slab Production — Questions We Get
Can you quote the whole line at once
Yes, and that is the better way to do it. Send your station list and machine models and we will quote the sequence.
How do I decide between multi-saw and multi-wire
Wire loses less stone to kerf; blades are more forgiving on hard or fractured blocks. Tell us the stone and we will give you a view.
Do you supply consumables for existing heads
Yes. Send the head type or the tool being replaced.
