Hand-held or air-leg rock drill? The direction of the hole decides. Compare the Y20, Y24, YT24 and YT28 on impact energy, flushing, air consumption and compressor sizing.

If you are budgeting a granite quarry, the first serious question is not which machine to buy — it is what the complete fleet looks like, and how many of each machine a…

In marble quarrying, the question was settled decades ago: diamond wire cutting is the primary extraction method almost everywhere. In granite, the question is still open on every new project — and getting…

“Wire saw” is not one machine. A rail-type wire saw and a bridge-type wire saw share the same cutting principle — a diamond wire loop running around a drive flywheel — but they…

Diamond wire cutting speed is the single most misunderstood parameter in granite quarrying. Marble cuts well at a high, stable peripheral speed in the 40–50 m/s range, so many buyers — and even…

Choosing between a vane type pneumatic motor and an axial piston pneumatic motor is one of the most consequential decisions in industrial drive system design. Both convert compressed air into rotary mechanical energy…

When an ATEX pneumatic motor is required for a hazardous environment, the wrong certification choice carries serious legal, safety, and financial consequences. Set Makina manufactures both vane type and axial piston pneumatic motors…

When evaluating rock drilling technology for your quarry or mining operation, the choice between DTH hammer drilling and top hammer drilling is one of the most consequential decisions you will make. Both methods…

Choosing the wrong diamond wire saw is one of the most expensive mistakes a quarry manager can make. The machine that delivers clean, precise cuts at 30 m/s in a marble deposit may…

In underground mining, the difference between ATEX-certified equipment and non-certified equipment goes far beyond compliance paperwork — it determines whether your drilling crew goes home at the end of the shift. In this…

TIGER Y20 and Y24 or Atlas Copco RH 571 and RH 658? A model-by-model comparison of air consumption, drilling speed, compressor size, maintenance, spare parts and warranty.

For more than three decades, Set Makina has been dedicated to developing advanced machinery and process knowledge for the natural stone industry. Among the earliest technical publications by our founder, Mr. Adnan Saraçoğlu,…

Extending the Life of Rock-Drilling Tools: Best Practices for TIGER Series Durability and precision are the foundation of every TIGER rock-drilling tool manufactured by Set Makina. Yet even the most advanced tool can…

In industrial operations, a well-designed compressed-air network is as critical as the equipment it powers. Set Makina’s experience in air-system design shows that even small pressure losses or layout mistakes can lead to…
