- Marble Block Processing
Marble Needs a Softer Bond at Every Station
Marble is softer and more fracture-prone than granite, and the failure mode is chipping rather than wear. Every station in a marble plant therefore runs a different specification from the granite equivalent, and buying granite tooling for marble work is the most common expensive mistake in the trade.
The 7 Decisions in This Chain
Quarry and squaring
Diamond wire in rubber and spring configurations for extraction and block squaring.
Gang sawing
Hot-press sintered gang saw segments, the consumable that actually determines gang saw economics.
Block cutting
Marble-specific block blades from 900 to 3500 mm running a free-cutting bond.
Slab trimming
Cross cutting blades for the across-grain cuts where marble chips most, and horizontal blades for block trimming.
Calibrating and grinding
Calibrating rollers, then magnesite abrasives in the marble grade for rough calibrating and smoothing.
Polishing
Fickerts and buffs, with cerium oxide available where marble is polished to a high gloss.
Fabrication
Continuous rim blades, tuck point blades and flexible pads for the finishing shop.

Marble Block Processing — Questions We Get
Why not use one blade for granite and marble
Because the bond hardness that survives granite will polish rather than cut marble, and a polishing blade chips the edge. We hold separate series.
What causes chipping on cross cuts
Cutting across the grain with too hard a bond or too much feed. The cross cutting series is specified for that cut.
Do you supply gang saw segments separately
Yes, Item IDs SA20GSS and SA24GSS, hot-press sintered.
