CNC Diamond Carving Bit for Stone Engraving

φ6/8/10/12/16/18/20mm

Our CNC diamond carving bit is built for stone engraving, lettering, and shallow relief work on granite, marble, and quartz. It helps shops cut clean lines and logos on countertops, monuments, signage, and architectural panels. High-grade diamonds and a stable cutting feel keep the tool tracking smoothly on tight paths, reducing edge chipping and rough groove walls. You get sharper detail, less rework, and steadier results in both custom jobs and batch runs.

FAQs

Common Questions About Diamond Carving Bits

What’s the difference between a diamond carving bit and a diamond engraving bit for stone?

Most buyers use the terms interchangeably. In practice, “engraving” usually means fine lines / lettering / shallow etching, while “carving” can include 2.5D textures, shallow relief, pockets, and decorative grooves.

If your job is tombstone lettering / logo outlines / sign-making, prioritize: tight-radius control, low runout tolerance, and clean groove walls. If it’s relief/textures, prioritize: stable removal rate and smooth wall finish on long toolpaths.

What RPM and feed rate should I start with for granite / quartz / marble engraving?

Use these as safe starting ranges for wet cutting (then tune ±10–20% based on bit Ø, spindle power, and line detail):

  • Granite / Quartz (hard + abrasive):
    RPM: 4,000–7,000
    Feed: 300–800 mm/min
    Step-down: 0.3–0.8 mm/pass
    Plunge: 50–80 mm/min (prefer ramp entry) 

  • Marble / Limestone (softer, but shows marks easily):
    RPM: 6,000–10,000
    Feed: 150–500 mm/min
    Step-down: 0.5–2.0 mm/pass

Keep a light finishing pass for better groove walls.

Why do my engraved letters look fuzzy or “melted” on stone?

Usually one (or more) of these:

  • Tool runout (collet wear / long stick-out) → creates chatter and uneven line width

  • Too much step-down → edge breakout at corners

  • Inconsistent coolant → heat spikes → glaze/rub instead of grind

Fix path first: ramp entry, smaller step-down, short tool stick-out, stable water curtain. Then tune RPM/feed.

How do I reduce chipping on corners for small text and V-carving?

Do this in order (most impact to least):

  • Support & clamp: no overhang, no vibration

  • Ramping instead of plunging: avoid “shock” at entry

  • More passes, less step-down: keep load constant

  • Finish pass strategy: one final light pass at same depth to clean walls

If you still chip: drop feed slightly, keep RPM stable, and verify runout.

Wet or dry—can I run this carving bit without water?

For stone CNC engraving, wet cutting is the default (heat control + cleaner walls + more predictable life). If you must run dry: reduce feed, reduce step-down, shorten continuous tool time, and use strong extraction. Otherwise you’ll see faster glazing, rough walls, and inconsistent detail between panels.

How do I choose bit diameter and shank for my CNC?

Use this rule set:

  • Detail first: smaller Ø for tighter corners and thin strokes

  • Stability first: larger Ø for faster removal and less deflection

  • Shank must match collet exactly (common: 6/8/10/12 mm or 1/2")

  • Keep stick-out as short as possible (long reach = more chatter)

Tell us your collet size + minimum inside radius + target line width/depth and we’ll recommend 2–3 sizes that stay stable.

What’s the difference between electroplated, brazed, and sintered diamond engraving tools?

Quick selection logic:

  • Electroplated: very sharp bite, great for fine detail, typically shorter life on abrasive quartz (but excellent for crisp starts).

  • Brazed: stronger diamond retention, good durability, often used when you want longer service life while keeping aggressive cutting.

  • Sintered: best for long life in many grinding-style operations, often paired with consistent wet cooling and steady loads.

If you tell us material + finish goal (crisp letters vs long life), we’ll match the build type.

My groove walls look rough—what’s the fastest way to improve finish quality?

Use a two-pass approach:

  1. Rough: normal feed, conservative step-down

  2. Finish: same depth, lighter load (reduce feed ~10–20% or use a finer tool/grit)
    Also: stabilize coolant flow and avoid stopping in corners (dwell marks). Shops that standardize a finish pass get the biggest jump in “premium look” consistency.

How do I know when to replace a diamond carving bit?

Replace (or retire to roughing) when you see:

  • line width drifting wider than programmed

  • corners chipping more at the same settings

  • spindle load climbing / more vibration

  • bit “polishing” the stone (glazing) instead of grinding cleanly

For quoting batch work, track material type + tool hours + total engraved length—that’s what makes tool cost predictable.

Send these 8 items and we can reply with a matched option set + starting parameters:

  1. Material (granite/marble/quartz/sintered) + thickness

  2. CNC model / spindle power + max RPM

  3. Cooling type (external water / internal / dry)

  4. Collet size (shank)

  5. Target groove width + depth

  6. Smallest inside radius / smallest text height

  7. Job type (lettering / logo / sign-making / relief texture)

  8. Monthly usage (pcs or meters) + destination country
