Practical Tips & Beginner's Guide

Whether you're a stone processing professional or a stone craft enthusiast, choosing the right abrasives 

and proper maintenance are key to improving efficiency and preserving texture. As a company deeply

 rooted in this field, we've compiled this practical guide based on our hands-on experience to help 

beginners quickly avoid pitfalls and get started efficiently.


Abrasive selection directly determines processing efficiency and finished product quality. Focus on three

 core points to avoid common misconceptions like "the more expensive, the better" or "universal models."


1. Choose according to stone material: For hard stones (such as granite), choose high-concentration 

diamond abrasives for wear resistance and durability; for soft stones (such as marble), choose resin

 abrasives for a finer polish. We've specifically optimized our abrasive formulas; our hard stone-specific 

models have a lifespan that extends by more than 30% compared to ordinary abrasives, helping 

companies reduce waste costs.


2. Select grinding tools according to processing steps: Coarse grinding uses 30#-50# coarse-grit abrasives, 

medium grinding uses 80#-120# medium-grit abrasives, fine grinding uses 200#-500# fine-grit abrasives,

 and polishing uses ultra-fine abrasives of 800# and above, achieving a stone gloss level of 90GU or higher.


3. Customization available: For non-standard sizes and complex processing, we prioritize manufacturers 

that support customization. We offer fast response times, short delivery cycles, and accept small orders, 

perfectly meeting the needs of small and medium-sized processing enterprises and craft creators.


While stone crafts are hard, improper maintenance can easily lead to yellowing and cracking. The core

 principles are "anti-penetration, anti-scratch, and regular maintenance."


• Anti-penetration: Stone has tiny pores, requiring a special sealant to form a protective film. Our stone 

tea trays, tabletops, and other products are professionally sealed before leaving the factory, allowing

customers to use them directly without additional treatment.


• Scratch Protection: Stone is relatively brittle, so avoid scratching with sharp objects and impacts from 

heavy objects. Especially for intricate carvings, damage can be difficult to repair. Place a soft cloth 

underneath the stone for protection.


• Regular Maintenance: For home decor items, dust with a dry, soft cloth every 3-6 months. For minor

 stains, wipe with warm water and a neutral detergent. For outdoor items, perform a sealing treatment 

annually to protect against wind and rain.
