Checklist: measurement before cutting

How to avoid expensive mistakes in stone

In stone, an error cannot be corrected by adding material back. Therefore, measurement is the most critical step — spend good time on it.

§Prepare the measurement

  • 01Make sure that you have the right measuring instruments
  • 02Find the drawing and understand what needs to be measured
  • 03Clarify which cutouts should be included

§Measure carefully

  • 01Measure all lengths, widths and cutouts
  • 02Check corners — are they perfectly square or skewed?
  • 03Measure the same dimensions again to confirm
  • 04Note everything clearly and clearly

§Before you cut

  • 01Review the goals one last time
  • 02Check that piece can be cut from the stone you have
  • 03Clearly mark where it should be cut before the machine is turned on
