Vein cut and cross cut of stone: Vein cut stone refers to the pattern of a stone product when it was first introduced to the market. The veiny cut direction of that pattern is defined as vein cut. If the "cross cut direction" of the same stone product is different from the pattern when it was first introduced, it is defined as cross cut.
Here I would like to show you the cross-cut VS vein-cut red travertine photos, please have a look.
For example, a stone block has six sides, and if we want to cut the sunny yellow marble, if we cut from side A, the blade will move from side C to side D, and the pattern of the cut stone is the " sunny yellow marble " with long stripes.
If you cut from the B side, you will get a unique pattern of sunny beige marble.
The sawing direction of many stones is wrong, which has a great impact on the decorative effect. Such as Emerald green stone, black galaxy granite, American white hemp granite and other similar materials have obvious cutting direction. If they are cut wrong, their surface texture will be different. One way to distinguish cutting direction is to use three vertical lines on the side of many imported raw materials, but domestic materials do not. For marble, there are straight lines, random lines, big flowers and small flowers in vein cut direction. For granite, there are crystal spots and non crystal spots, crystal grains and non crystal grains. Spotted flowers and spotless flowers.
Many people are even more confused about the translation of natural stone crosscutting and slitting in English. If they translate the cross-cutting directly and literally into a cross cut, the deviation is too far.
Here we will introduce the difference between cross cutting and vein cutting of stone and their English translation:
The stone is cut transversely, that is, along the texture. The cut surface can see the regular and complete texture. The English translation is called vein cut.
The longitudinal cutting of stone is vertical texture cutting, and the cutting surface is basically irregular and random. The English translation is called cross cut.
