This process is called piping, and usually runs on a separate edging machine, and circular saw. Edging machine is different from sawing smaller circular saw blade (400-800 mm in the lining, 1600-3500 mm in sawing), and hence the size of the bearing structure. After edging receive a piece of granite monuments or other items size. The next step is the polishing of these products, polishing machines manually or automatically. The stone is polished diamond wheels, which come in different rooms. The larger the numbers change on the machine in polishing process, the better quality it turns out. As a rule, more or less good quality must be at least 6 numbers. After polishing, it is already possible to get ready-made parts granite monuments, but only rectangular shapes.
That is, a rectangular arch (the monument standing upright), or stele (horizontal standing monument to the two portraits), or stand under them, or stick a flower bed or a tombstone. Today rectangular monuments are very rare in demand as a proliferation of different forms of braces, a process which cuts on the monument did not greatly increase its value. Cut them out of the prepared rectangular parts are usually manually by bolgarok with cutting wheel for granite. Cut curved surfaces are polished manually as well. People doing this work, called the stone carvers or the people – parking brake. Naturally, the more complex manual work, the more it costs. Also, hand-cut from the blanks and other fancy details of the monuments and more complex systems, such as fencing elements, granite benches, tables, shaped tombstones, etc.
When the arch or stela is completely ready, give it away for work the artist on a stone, which knocks out the portrait, inscriptions, paintings and decorative elements. This process is also called engraving. From skill of the artist and the image quality afforded by the customer, depends on how the portrait will be similar to the person who placed the monument. After the portrait artist knocked out and the remaining parts of the monument cut and polished, you can pass to the customer. Original article can be viewed at -
