For chipping and splitting stone, especially hard stone.

The name Diamont refers to the high hardness of tungsten carbide, the material from which the tool cutting edges are made. Diamont tools do not contain any diamond.

Sculpting tools made of carbide or with carbide inserts are particularly suitable for processing hard types of stone. Carbide tools need to be resharpened less frequently during work because the material is so strong that there is less abrasion than with tools made of forged steel. The carbide cutting edge therefore has a longer service life. However, if carbide tools are ground very sharp or thin, careful working is required as carbide is a brittle material due to its hardness and can easily break when ground thin. Levering movements during hammering can also lead to breakage or cause carbide pins to detach from the steel casing.
