The Cutting Edge: Making Precision Cuts for Stone and Tile Work

Natural stone and tile lend a sophisticated appeal to your home. Whether you want them on your floors or for your kitchen countertop, these durable and elegant materials require careful handling. One of the key aspects of stone and tile installation is precision cutting.

Speed Cutting, But With Accuracy

Professional stone and tile installers will use appropriate tools. The right tools for the job not only ensure precise cuts, they will also prevent wastage. If you plan to undertake the project yourself, you need to use professional tools. And professionals will use the bridge saw to cut stones and tiles.

Bridge saw works well with diamond blades, which will allow you to make smooth, clean cuts through stones or tiles. But you will need a specific model for the size and type of material for your installation project.

The Right Tool, the Right Method

The bridge saws Stonegate offer come in different configurations. For instance, the porcelain bridge saw blade works for ultra compact surface (UCS) material, such as Lapitec, while the Rapido bridge saw blade is ideal for engineered stone and granite.

Some manufacturers also designed their bridge saws to prevent issues, like blade bending. Typhoon's bridge saw reduces blade flexing with a medium bond. The long narrow flutes also improve water supply to the edge of the blade. This feature also minimises noise during cutting.

Aside from using the appropriate tool for the project, you should also ensure a safe working space. Wear personal protective equipment, such as gloves and safety glasses. You may also want to use respiratory protection; some materials may contain silica, and breathing too much of this dust could lead to silicosis.

The bridge saw helps you accomplish clean, precise cuts. Whether you're installing new stone flooring or replacing your kitchen countertops, ask us about the right tools for the job. Call Stonegate Precision Tooling today.
