ABSTRACT:
An inlaid stone composite broadly includes a body stone and an inlay stone secured within a groove of the body stone, with the inlaid stone composite presenting a finished layered edge surface, and with the surface having a longitudinally extending edge profile. The inlaid stone composite is manufactured using a stone machine tool that includes, among other things, powered assemblies for machining the groove, machining the profile, and for polishing the profile. The body stone and inlay stone are machined to close tolerances so that the stones include respective surfaces in abutting engagement with one another. The stones are further machined to limit chipping of the composite.
