Marble blocks are usually cut using diamond wire saws or specialized drilling equipment. The process involves drilling holes into the marble block and ing diamond wire that is then continuously pulled through the block, cutting the marble into slabs. Another method is to use saw blades made from diamond particles, which also efficiently cut through the marble while creating less dust and debris. The use of water is also common during the cutting process to keep the marble cool and reduce friction. Once the block is fully cut into slabs, it is then polished to achieve a smooth and glossy finish.
