ABSTRACT:
A stone cutter for cutting stock stone, in particular marble without causing undesirable and uneconomical breakage of the stone. The stone cutter comprises a movable cutter blade assembly, where the movable cutter blade assembly comprises a movable blade holder and an upper cutter blade; a stationary blade assembly, where the stationary blade assembly comprises a stationary blade holder and a stationary blade. The movable cutter blade assembly is mounted proximate an end of the stationary blade assembly. The stone cutter further comprises a support, where the support comprises at least a base and a table and provides a stable rest for the stationary blade assembly. A handle assembly is also provided to move the movable cutter blade assembly in a linear reciprocating motion toward and away from the stationary blade assembly. The distance between the stationary blade and movable blade are generally equidistant throughout movement of the movable cutter blade assembly. The handle assembly further comprises a generally U-shaped force distributor that contacts an upper surface of the movable cutter blade assembly so as to apply an evenly distributed force on the movable cutter blade assembly. An adjustment adjusts a distance between the stationary blade and the movable blade so stock piece of stone can be inserted between the movable blade and the stationary blade prior to movement of the handle assembly.
