How is a block of marble cut in a quarry? ⛰️
One of the essential tools is the diamond wire: made up of diamond beads and springs, it works directly on the rock, allowing the marble to be cut.
Over time, this technology has evolved too: the introduction of rubber helps keep the beads in place even if the wire breaks.
During the cutting process, the diamond granules provide the abrasive action, while water continuously cools the wire and supports the cutting process.
A technical detail behind a job that, in the quarry, requires precision, experience, and a deep knowledge of the material.
