Experimental Investigation on the Effects of Tool Geometry and Cutting Conditions on Machining Behavior during Edge Finishing of Granite Using Concave and Chamfered Profiling Tools.

Granite edge finishing through grinding is a common process in the granite processing industry, crucial for achieving the final desired shape and edge quality of products. This study focuses on the granite industry, specifically delving into the significance of grinding and polishing for improving aesthetics and extending material longevity. The experimental design entails a comprehensive factorial experiment plan involving two workpiece materials (white and black granite samples) and two cutting tool edge shapes (chamfer and concave), each with two grit sizes: G150 and G600.
