How to Cut Thin Stone Veneer: Tools, Safety, and Precision
This technical 2026 guide establishes professional standards for the precision cutting and shaping of thin stone veneer, benchmarking operational safety against OSHA’s 50 µg/m³ silica dust PEL. It evaluates the mechanics of wet-to-dry fabrication, provides a protocol for 45-degree mitered edges using digital sensors, and explains how factory-made L-shaped corners reduce on-site labor by 30%. Designed for masonry contractors and wholesalers, the guide explores hybrid tooling workflows to maintain “Zero-Repeat Natural Variation” in high-density quartzite and granite facades.
