Tungsten Carbide Tools For Stone Carving

Tungsten carbide tipped tools are the most popular option for stone carving work due to its forged, slotted, and carbide inserts brazed in, which could provide a harder and longer-wearing cutting edge.



Soft stone such as chalk, soapstone, pumice and tufa can be easily carved with found items such as harder stone or in the case of chalk even the fingernail. Limestones and marbles can be worked using abrasives and simple iron tools. Granite, basalt and some metamorphic stone is difficult to carve even with iron or steel tools; usually tungsten carbide tipped tools are used, although abrasives still work well. Modern techniques often use abrasives attached to machine tools to cut the stone.
