If you want to use a stone engraving machine well, in addition to choosing a suitable machine, the selection of cutting tools is also very important. Therefore, when we are carving and processing different stone materials, we should choose appropriate cutting tools, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort. This article will take you through the classification of stone engraving machine cutting tools and how to choose them.
Are Stone Engraving Machine Cutting Tools Important for Stone Processing?
The stone engraving machine cutting tools can ensure the quality and efficiency of engraving. Stone engraving cutting tools are specially used on CNC stone engraving machines. Their special properties determine that stone engraving cutting tools must have high structural strength and high wear resistance. In addition, stone engraving machine cutting tools also need to have good heat resistance to cope with the cutting heat generated during high-speed cutting, maintain anti-oxidation and anti-adhesion capabilities, and thus extend the service life of the tool. Therefore, choosing a suitable stone engraving machine cutting tool is crucial to improving work efficiency, and ensuring engraving quality.
What Are the Common Cutting Tools of Stone Engraving Machine?
The following stone engraving machine cutting tool materials have their own characteristics and are suitable for different stone engraving needs and engraving methods. Choosing the right tool material is crucial to improving engraving efficiency and quality.
1.Diamond Cutting Tools
Diamond tools have high hardness and strength, and are especially suitable for carving hard stone. Coolant can be used to reduce the temperature of the diamond tool during use, thus extending its service life.
2.PCD Cutting Tools
PCD cutting tools are made of artificial crystal structure diamond, which has strong hardness and wear resistance. It can accurately and efficiently carve stone patterns and is not easy to wear. During use, attention needs to be paid to controlling the processing speed to avoid damaging the tool.
3.High Speed Steel Cutting Tools
High-speed steel cutting tools are mainly used for carving medium-hard stones and have good toughness and cutting performance. During use, you need to pay attention to the processing depth and feed speed to avoid overheating or excessive wear of the tool.
4.Carbide Cutting Tools
Carbide cutting tools are also a common engraving tool. Although its hardness is not as good as diamond and PCD tools, it is relatively cheap and suitable for engraving stones with low hardness. Such as bluestone, white marble, marble, etc., suitable for engraving methods such as lettering and line engraving.
How To Choose Stone Engraving Machine Cutting Tools?
When choosing engraving cutting tools, you should choose the appropriate stone tool according to the specific stone material and carving requirements.
1.Consider the Type and Hardness of the Stone Materials
Different stones have different hardness and characteristics. When choosing a cutting tool, you need to consider the hardness, wear resistance, and toughness of the stone. For example, hard stones such as granite require harder and more wear-resistant tool materials to ensure that the tool can withstand the pressure and wear during the cutting process.
2.Select Tools According to Process Requirements
Different engraving patterns also require the selection of different cutting tools. If you need to cut patterns with shallow depth, you can choose high-speed steel cutting tools; if you need to cut patterns with high precision and delicate effects, you can choose PCD cutting tools.
3.Pay Attention to the Size and Design of the Cutting Tool
The size and design of the tool are also factors that need to be considered when choosing. For example, the handle diameter, blade width, blade length, etc. will affect the cutting effect and tool life. Choosing the right size can ensure that the tool remains stable when rotating at high speed, reducing vibration and offset.
4.Consider the Economy and Process Performance of the Cutting Tool
When choosing a cutting tool, in addition to considering its performance, its economy should also be considered. Although some high-end tool materials are expensive, if they can significantly improve work efficiency and reduce the cost of unit products, they may be a cost-effective investment in the long run.
