Abstract
INCREASING demand for stone products has led to numerous new quarries being opened up and worked all over the world. As a result of this expansion, the variety of stone types available has increased. This can present initial problems when determining the correct diamond and bond specifications for the diamond tools used to cut and drill these materials. It is difficult to make precise judgements without carrying out extensive machining trials to establish the sawability of a given stone type.
