Cutting The Marble Block Away From The Mountain
A diamond wire saw is used to cut the
marble away from the mountain. The bottom is the first to be cut. The
diamond wire is fed through the two holes that were drill horizontally.
A steady stream of water is run over the area being cut to act as a natural
lubricant.
The diamond wire is now fed through the
top hole (vertical) and through the hole (horizontal). A steady stream
of water is run
over the area being cut to act as a natural lubricant.
