The reason why the stone cnc router machine tool is easy to break

I often receive calls from customers, saying why the tool is broken, and it is very serious. In fact, this is related to the use of stone carving machines, stone carving knives, and the lack of understanding of stone craftsmanship. You can accumulate experience in use, what stone What kind of tool is used, what kind of feed speed is used, and it is also related to the path of the programmer. To put it simply, there are several reasons why the stone carving knife is broken.

1. Due to the machine of the cnc router machine itself, the Z axis speed is too fast, it is easy to break the knife, and the deformation of the tool holder can easily break the knife. Choose the spindle power, generally 3000W for a stone cnc router machine, the processing speed can be guaranteed, and it can save electricity; at the stage when the technology of the stone cnc router machine is not yet mature, choosing a better quality stone engraving knife is something you must consider .

  2. The material does not match. Diamond is suitable for engraving marble, but it is impossible to engrave all engravings and calligraphy. Diamond is suitable for hard stone with fine texture. The service life of the tool is closely related to the speed of the knife. The harder the stone, the slower the speed of the knife.

3. There is water in the working environment of stone carving. If there is no water to cool down, the residual heat will be easily broken. The contact part of the knife tip and the stone must have sufficient circulation and sufficient moisture.

4. When programming, it is necessary to ensure that the flexible feed is required every time the knife is cut; the requirements for the operator: During the programming, the flexible feed must be ensured every time the knife is cut. The tip of the knife will be in contact with the object when it is rotating.

The above is the reason why stone carving tools are easy to break. Experience is slowly accumulated. Novices can analyze the reasons without interruption, and then record them. After a long time, they will be very experienced.

Applications of 5-Axis CNC Routers in Wind Turbine Blade Manufacturing

5-axis CNC routers are increasingly used in wind turbine blade manufacturing, particularly for edge trimming, root drilling, and mold production. Rather than replacing traditional processes, their value lies in improving accuracy, reducing manual intervention, and enabling consistent machining of complex composite geometries. This article outlines where 5-axis systems provide measurable benefits—and where careful process integration remains essential.

5-Axis vs. 3-Axis CNC Routers: When Does the Investment Actually Pay Off?

Most manufacturers don’t lose money because of the machine they buy—but because they choose the wrong one for their production reality. This guide breaks down the real differences between 3-axis and 5-axis CNC routers, not just in terms of movement, but in labor cost, setup time, tool performance, and error rates. If your workflow involves repeated setups, long tools, or complex geometries, the cost of staying with 3-axis may already exceed the investment in 5-axis.

Large-Scale Marine Mold Machining with 5-Axis CNC Routers

Large-scale marine mold machining requires more than size—it demands accuracy, stability, and process control. A Greek shipyard reduced mold production from weeks to days by adopting a DL Series 5-axis CNC router from BCAM CNC, achieving consistent surface quality, reliable 24/7 operation, and reduced manual finishing.
