The
process used for cutting hard stone, and especially
granite, has been revolutionized by the introduction of
steel abrasives. This has helped the
stone industry worldwide to soar from a craft to a full
industry.
Today, granite blocks from around the world (India,
Brazil, Italy, etc.) are cut into thin slabs on huge
multi-blade gangsaws. The steel grit is
actually the cutting material as it is ground
between the blades and the stone.
The National Metal Abrasive cast steel grit has been accepted in
North America and around the world as the best
product for granite cutting.
