What is the difference between Quarry cut (tungsten cut) and Diamond cut limestone blocks?
When used for housing, the general trend is to use diamond cut Carabooda limestone blocks for a more formal finish, or the more textured biscuit coloured Moore River Limestone blocks to create a character natural stone feel it is simply a matter of personal preference. Quarry cut limestone blocks are cut directly from the quarry floor using electric saws with tungsten tipped blades. Diamond cut blocks are produced by reprocessing quarry cut blocks through multi- bladed saws to produce an accurately cut product such as housing blocks, cladding, paving etc. The saw blades used in this process are diamond tipped to give a smoother finish.
