Abstract

This paper provides an in-depth comparison of four stone cutting Techniques : Water Jet Cutting, Gang Saw (Frame Saw) Machine, Stone Edge Cutting Machine, and Multi-Wire Saw Machine. Each Technique's working principle, advantages, and limitations are thoroughly examined, highlighting their efficiency, precision, versatility, and environmental impact. By elucidating the operational intricacies and performance metrics of each Technique, this study aims to assist industry professionals and researchers in making informed decisions regarding stone cutting techniques for various applications.

Keywords

Gang Saw cutting, Jet cutting, Multi wire cutting, Productivity enhancement, Stone edge cutting.
