Thin stone veneers are widely used in modern architecture and interior design, they are both aesthetically pleasing and practical, but they are prone to cracking during the cutting process.
Why do thin stone veneers tend to crack during cutting?
Thin stone veneers (usually 1-3cm thick) are prone to cracking during cutting due to their thinness. The main reasons for this are: the brittleness of the material itself, incorrect choice of cutting tool, incorrect cutting technique, lack of proper support, cutting too fast or under too much pressure.
The best choice of cutting tools for cutting thin stone veneer：
1. Wet cutter
Using diamond blades, the continuous water cooling reduces the particles and dust ejected during the cutting process and also leaves the finish very clean.
2. Angle grinder with diamond blades
Suitable for small jobs, must use wet cutting attachment and requires a steady hand.
3. Professional stone cutting saw

Cutting Tips and Precautions:
Ensure the stone is firmly supported: use rubber mats to reduce vibration .
Keep blades sharp: dull blades increase the risk of cracking and should be replaced if more pressure is needed to cut or if the kerf becomes rough.
Control depth of cut: Cut no more than 1/3 of the blade diameter at a time .
Temperature management: Avoid overheating and pause to allow the blade to cool if necessary .
Cutting for special shapes: For curved or complex shapes, consider waterjet cutting.
Precautions for different stones:
Granite: harder, requires professional grade blades.
Marble: softer but more fragile and requires special care.
Limestone: highly porous, cuts best when wet.
