Carving Marble on Mechmate
1 Attachment(s)
Hi,
I am watching excellent work done with Mechmate on Aluminum and Wood/MDF.. Has anybody tried carving marble? I recently did carving marble on MDF CNC machine and i think this surely can be done with Mechmate. here is the brief video i am currently doing.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2hPQ...ature=youtu.be |
Marble is relatively soft material, so it is possible.
One machine in the Caribbean islands uses a standard A/C motor as the spindle for specifically this use. I have not seen any photo's of results - but know that a duty purpose machine has been built to date. |
Its about the spindle design, particularly the bearings.

@KenC:
I am using ordinary wood router for carving the Marble. @Smreish: Yes i think Marble is much softer..however Granite is really difficult to carve atleast i think not possible with my machine. It will be pleasure for me to see some marble carving here at this forum.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZkOD...ature=youtu.be |

How about carving Ceaser Stone?
|
I would be interested to know what is the long term effect of your router. specifically will marble carving shorten your router bearing life.
|
@Guillermo:
These are some excellent and low cost tools.. I wish i could purchase have those:( @hennie: What is Ceaser Stone? @KenC: My router has two bearings both can be easily replace with a cost of 1.5 US dollars.. So far yesterday i did run run the router for 8 hrs straight and no sign of abnormal sound, vibrations etc. |
Khalid it is a engineered stone made from quartz
|
Khalid, it is produced in Caesarea, Israel. I suspect that Pakistan is not a big customer.

@Hennie
Thanks for information :)..I will search on the internet.. @Gerald: We have large reserves of different types of marbles and granite in Pakistan. You are right we do not import marble from outside. |
