Marble cuts well at a high, stable peripheral speed in the 40\u201350 m\/s range, so many buyers \u2014 and even some tender specifications \u2014 assume granite works the same way. It does not. Granite requires a variable peripheral speed, typically between 25 and 40 m\/s, adjusted to the hardness and quartz content of each deposit. A machine that cannot vary its wire speed will consume diamond wire at an alarming rate, or stop cutting altogether. This article explains the engineering behind that range, and what it means when you specify a wire saw for granite.\r\n  <\/p>\r\n\r\n  <!-- \u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\r\n       KEY TAKEAWAYS\r\n  \u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550 -->\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"sm-takeaways\">\r\n    <div class=\"sm-tk-title\">Key Takeaways<\/div>\r\n    <ul>\r\n      <li>Marble is cut at a high, stable peripheral speed (40\u201350 m\/s).

It is set by the diameter of the drive flywheel and the rotation speed of the motor. This is different from the <strong>feed rate<\/strong>, which is how fast the machine pulls back along its rails to keep tension on the wire as the cut advances.\r\n  <\/p>\r\n\r\n  <p>\r\n    The two parameters work together. Peripheral speed determines how much work each diamond bead does per second as it passes through the stone. Feed rate determines how hard the wire is pressed against the cutting face. Get the peripheral speed wrong, and no amount of feed adjustment will save the cut \u2014 or the wire.\r\n  <\/p>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"sm-callout\">\r\n    <p><strong>Rule of thumb:<\/strong> peripheral speed is chosen for the <em>rock<\/em>; feed rate is adjusted for the <em>cut<\/em>.

Marble is metamorphosed limestone \u2014 calcite, with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/science\/Mohs-hardness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mohs hardness<\/a> of roughly 3 to 3.5. It is soft, consistent, and only moderately abrasive. Because the rock behaves the same way across almost every marble deposit, a stable peripheral speed in the 40\u201350 m\/s band works nearly everywhere. This is why marble machines can run at a practically constant speed, and why fixed-speed machines exist at all.\r\n  <\/p>\r\n\r\n  <p>\r\n    Granite is igneous rock built from quartz, feldspar, and mica. Quartz sits at Mohs 7 \u2014 roughly twice as hard as calcite on the scale, and dramatically harder in cutting terms. More importantly, <strong>quartz content varies from one granite deposit to another<\/strong>, and with it the hardness and abrasiveness the wire faces. A grey granite with 35% quartz cuts very differently from a dark gabbro marketed as &#8220;black granite&#8221; that contains almost none.\r\n  <\/p>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"sm-rock-grid\">\r\n    <div class=\"sm-rock-card marble\">\r\n      <div class=\"sm-rock-label\">Marble<\/div>\r\n      <h4>One rock, one speed<\/h4>\r\n      <ul>\r\n        <li><span>Mohs hardness<\/span><span class=\"val\">3 \u2013 3.5<\/span><\/li>\r\n        <li><span>Main mineral<\/span><span class=\"val\">Calcite<\/span><\/li>\r\n        <li><span>Hardness variation<\/span><span class=\"val\">Low<\/span><\/li>\r\n        <li><span>Peripheral speed<\/span><span class=\"val\">40 \u2013 50 m\/s, stable<\/span><\/li>\r\n        <li><span>Speed control needed<\/span><span class=\"val\">Minimal<\/span><\/li>\r\n      <\/ul>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sm-rock-card granite\">\r\n      <div class=\"sm-rock-label\">Granite<\/div>\r\n      <h4>Many rocks, many speeds<\/h4>\r\n      <ul>\r\n        <li><span>Mohs hardness<\/span><span class=\"val\">6 \u2013 7<\/span><\/li>\r\n        <li><span>Main minerals<\/span><span class=\"val\">Quartz, feldspar, mica<\/span><\/li>\r\n        <li><span>Hardness variation<\/span><span class=\"val\">High, per deposit<\/span><\/li>\r\n        <li><span>Peripheral speed<\/span><span class=\"val\">25 \u2013 40 m\/s, variable<\/span><\/li>\r\n        <li><span>Speed control needed<\/span><span class=\"val\">Essential (inverter)<\/span><\/li>\r\n      <\/ul>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <p>\r\n    In marble quarrying, the operator&#8217;s question is &#8220;how fast can I feed?&#8221; In <a href=\"https:\/\/setmakina.com\/en\/granite-quarry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">granite quarrying<\/a>, the first question is &#8220;what peripheral speed does this stone want?&#8221; \u2014 and the answer is found by testing on the face, not by reading a catalogue.\r\n  <\/p>\r\n\r\n  <!-- \u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\r\n       SECTION 03 \u2014 What goes wrong at the wrong speed\r\n  \u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550 -->\r\n\r\n  <h2><span class=\"sm-num\">03<\/span>What happens when the speed is wrong<\/h2>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"sm-factors\">\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"sm-factor\">\r\n      <div class=\"sm-factor-num\">1<\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sm-factor-body\">\r\n        <h3>Too fast: the beads glaze and the cut stops<\/h3>\r\n        <p>\r\n          When the wire runs too fast for a hard, quartz-rich granite, each diamond spends less time in contact with the stone and penetrates less on each pass.

Granite is cut at a peripheral speed between roughly 25 and 40 m\/s, depending on the hardness and quartz content of the specific deposit. Hard, quartz-rich granites need the lower end of the range; softer granites tolerate the upper end. The final setting is confirmed by test cuts on the face.<\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sm-faq-item\">\r\n      <h3>Why can marble be cut at a fixed speed but not granite?<\/h3>\r\n      <p>Marble is mineralogically consistent \u2014 calcite at Mohs 3\u20133.5 \u2014 so a stable speed in the 40\u201350 m\/s range works across almost all deposits. Granite&#8217;s hardness varies with its quartz content from deposit to deposit, so the machine must be able to adapt its speed to the stone.<\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sm-faq-item\">\r\n      <h3>What happens if I run a fixed-speed wire saw on granite?<\/h3>\r\n      <p>If the fixed speed is too high for the stone, the diamond beads glaze and stop cutting. If it is too low, beads strip and the wire wears out or breaks. Either way, wire consumption per square metre rises sharply and production falls.<\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sm-faq-item\">\r\n      <h3>Does cutting speed affect diamond wire life?<\/h3>\r\n      <p>Directly. Wire life is measured in square metres cut per metre of wire, and peripheral speed is the parameter that most influences it in granite. A correctly tuned speed keeps the diamonds cutting within their design load; a mismatched speed can multiply wire consumption several times over.<\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <!-- \u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\r\n       CTA\r\n  \u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550 -->\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"sm-cta\">\r\n    <h3>Planning a granite cutting operation?<\/h3>\r\n    <p>Send us your stone type and cutting programme.
