Types of Stone Edge Processing: A Comprehensive Guide

Edge grinding is a common process in stone processing, which involves grinding one or more edges of a slab into a geometric shape. This process is primarily used to improve the appearance and functionality of stone edges. With the increasing demand for natural stone in the decorative world, especially for special-shaped stone crafts, there is a wide variety of types that rely on stone edge grinding technology (including manual and machine edge grinding) to meet design and modeling requirements.

Here are some common types of stone edge grinding:

    1. Straight Edge

The straight edge is the most common basic edge type for stone. It is achieved by grinding the stone edge into a straight line shape using a stone grinding machine, making the edge neat and smooth. The process of stone straight edge treatment is relatively simple and cost-effective, suitable for various stone edge treatments.

    2. Beveled Edge

The beveled edge is based on the straight edge and undergoes a certain inclination treatment to form a more dynamic and three-dimensional effect. The beveled edge design can add a sense of spatial hierarchy, making the stone more eye-catching.

    3. Rounded Edge

The rounded edge refers to the stone edge that is processed to present a round arc. This edge type makes the overall appearance more soft and warm. The processing of rounded edges requires a certain level of difficulty and is relatively more expensive.

    4. Special Shape Edge

The special shape edge refers to the special shape treatment of the stone edge according to the design requirements. This edge type can fully display the designer's creativity and personality, with a high degree of artistry and uniqueness. The processing difficulty of special shape edges is high and requires professional techniques and equipment support.

Stone edge grinding methods also include mechanical edge grinding and manual edge grinding.

• Machine Edge Grinding:

Performed by professional stone edge grinding machines, characterized by high efficiency and precision.

• Hand Edge Grinding:

Performed by hand tools, suitable for small batches or special-shaped stone edge grinding.

These edge grinding processes not only enhance the aesthetics of the stone but also increase its practicality and safety, suitable for various exterior wall decorations and specific occasion requirements.
