The pneumatic tools with carbide inserts from BAVARIA are suitable for hard stone such as granite, but also for softer types of stone such as marble or hard limestone.
The teeth of the claw chisels are ground into a continuous carbide plate. This results in extremely sharp teeth, which allow crystalline stone in particular to chip off easily and make it easier to finish surfaces. On the other hand, this variant is more sensitive but cheaper than a claw chisel with individually soldered carbide pins. The claw chisel should be loaded evenly over the entire "row of teeth". We recommend using a pneumatic hammer with an impact frequency of 6000 blows per minute or more.
The name Diamont refers to the large hardness of tungsten carbide, the material from which the tool cutting edges are made. Diamont tools do not contain any diamond.
General information on carbide chisels:
Tapered carbide point chisels are available with a conical cut and, more rarely, with a pyramid cut. The pyramid-ground tools originally come from Italy and are very suitable for working with crystalline types of stone such as marble. Conically ground chisels are used for sandstone, hard limestone and granite.
Sculpting tools made of carbide or with carbide inserts are particularly suitable for working hard types of stone. Carbide tools need to be sharpened 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 chisels are ground to a very sharp point or thinly, careful working is required as carbide is a brittle material due to its hardness and can easily break when ground thinly. Levering movements during hammering can also lead to breakage or loosen the carbide pin from the steel casing.
The rule of thumb for hard stone is: the harder the stone, the blunter the cutting angle of the chisel should be. With hard stone such as granite, the chisel is placed at almost a right angle and the stone is virtually pulverised. The chisel therefore has a very blunt cutting edge. For crystalline stone such as hard marble, a more pointed tool with a sharper cutting edge is required. The chisel is set flat so that the stone can chip off without damaging the underlying crystalline structure.
