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.

@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

I would be interested to know what is the long term effect of your router. specifically will marble carving shorten your router bearing life.

Khalid, it is produced in Caesarea, Israel. I suspect that Pakistan is not a big customer.

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.
