How to make radius kerbstone?

Making radius kerbstones involves shaping the stone into a curved profile that can fit around the edges of a circular or curved path. Here's a general process for producing radius kerbstones:

1. Material Selection

Stone Type: Choose a durable stone material, such as granite, sandstone, or concrete, based on the project requirements.

Block Size: Select raw stone blocks large enough to accommodate the desired radius and height of the kerbstone.

2. Design and Measurement

Determine the Radius: Measure the exact radius of the curve where the kerbstones will be installed. The radius could be for circular paths, roundabouts, or landscaping features.

Design Templates: Create a template or drawing of the kerbstone’s curved profile. This template will serve as a guide for cutting and shaping the stone.

3. Cutting

CNC Bridge Saw: Use a CNC bridge saw to cut the raw stone into approximate size and shape. CNC machines allow for precise cutting, which is important for creating consistent curved profiles.

4. Shaping and Profiling

Automatic Profiling Machines: To achieve radius shapes, use profiling machines that can shape the stone into the desired curve. Profiling machines are great for creating custom shapes and can be adjusted to meet specific radius requirements.

Profiling Machines: Automatic stone profiling machines can speed up the process and ensure consistency across all curbstones.

5. Polishing

Polishing Machine: Depending on the finish required, use an automatic stone polishing machine to smooth the surface and achieve a polished or honed finish. For outdoor use, a rougher finish may be preferred for anti-slip properties.

6. Quality Control

Inspect the kerbstones for consistency in size, shape, and finish. Ensure the radius is accurate and that the stones fit together smoothly along the curve.

7. Installation

Proper installation techniques are essential for ensuring that the radius kerbstones align correctly with each other and form a smooth curve. The stones should be carefully laid out and secured with concrete or another adhesive material.

By using a combination of CNC cutting, profiling machines, and polishing techniques, you can efficiently produce high-quality radius kerbstones.
