You can find a wide range of beautifully polished stone slabs ready for further processing in almost every good stone shop. But you have to order a stone plate with a uniformly roughened surface from a stone supplier, or local stone workshops with better machine and tool equipment can meet this requirement.
Plastering, also called pemmerling, is a process of surface treatment of natural or artificial stone, where a rough, non-slip surface is created. The material processed in this way is most often used as cladding, paving or stairs
Detail of the stucco surface on the granite slab.
You can achieve a stuccoed surface using a hand stoker hammer, a small stoker head intended for hand machines or a large stoker head for large shoulder grinders.
Hand hammers are used to work on smaller surfaces, corners or corners, where it is harder to access with a rotary hammer head for hand grinders. In our offer you can find two types of manual stock hammers. The hardened stucco hammer is suitable for softer materials such as sandstone, stoneware, travertine and the like. For harder materials, such as granite, a putty hammer with video tips is suitable.
Rotary hammer for natural or artificial stone and concrete
The most popular stocking tool is the rotary stocking head with M14 attachment, intended for hand machines. A condition for achieving a perfectly and evenly machined surface is a suitable choice of revolutions. Therefore, we recommend using machines with the possibility of speed regulation (900-1100 rpm). Approximate time for processing 1 square meter is max. 15 minutes. In our offer you will find rotary stocking heads with a diameter of 125 and 150 mm
Stocking heads with a diameter of 200 and 300 millimeters are suitable for processing a large area. These tools are built for use in large stone masonry shoulder grinders. The thorough processing of a stone plate measuring 2 x 3 meters can take a maximum of 40 minutes.
What to watch out for? The sensitive part when stuccoing is the edge - the edge of the stone. If you require a sharp edge, it is better to work the surface first and then cut the material. If this is not possible, the edge of the stone must be treated with sensitivity. If you are not careful, there is a risk that a larger piece of material will bounce off during edge processing and spoil the aesthetics.
The use of water when working with the stocking head is not necessary, but the supply of water will ensure additional cooling of the tool and reduce dustiness.
