The primary tool used to cut marble is a marble cutter, also known as a tile cutter or stone cutter. It is typically a power tool equipped with a diamond-tipped circular blade, which can handle the hardness and brittleness of marble.
For large or precise cutting jobs, professionals may also use wet saws (which cool the blade with water to reduce dust and prevent overheating) or angle grinders with diamond blades for smaller, more detailed cuts. Each tool is chosen based on the size, shape, and finish required for the marble cutting task.
Motor Not Running
Cause: Faulty power switch, damaged cord, worn-out carbon brushes, or burned motor.
Fix: Check the power supply and cord for continuity, replace the switch or brushes if worn, and inspect the motor winding for damage.
Blade Not Rotating Properly
Cause: Loose blade, faulty gear mechanism, or jammed spindle.
Fix: Tighten or replace the blade. Lubricate or repair the gearbox and ensure spindle movement is free and smooth.
Excessive Vibration or Noise
Cause: Unbalanced blade, worn bearings, or bent motor shaft.
Fix: Replace the blade, check bearings for wear, and replace if needed. If the shaft is bent, it may require professional service.
Overheating
Cause: Blocked air vents, overuse without breaks, or internal motor issues.
Fix: Clean the vents, let the tool cool during long use, and inspect motor parts if the problem persists.
