It is important to remember that FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti materials are inspired by Nature and can therefore be treated in the same way as quarried products during cutting and processing operations.

It is necessary to use suitable, professional tools, always checking their cutting capacity and replacing worn parts when necessary.
For accurate cutting use a traditional cutter, checking the state of the cutting wheel before starting. For circular cutting, after having made a template (that is to say a pattern of the part to be cut), lay it on the part in question and transfer the shape with a pencil.
Using a diamond-cutting disk, cut without exerting excessive pressure.

It is necessary to use a water milling cutter or a continuous crown diamond-cutting disk for stoneware and granite tiles.
After having pencilled - on the back of the slab – the perimeter of a square within which the hole must be made, use the cutting tool to cut perpendicular and diagonal lines and then concentric circles towards the outside. When the central thickness of the hole has become very thin, turn the slab over and open up the hole by tapping lightly.
For holes in tiles a diamond points drill for granite must be used.
It is important to remember to cool the points often while working.

FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti materials are also suitable for fairly refined processes. Exactly like quarried materials, they can be worked with the same criteria and methods.
