Basalt is most commonly used for interior and exterior building applications. Rough-cut basalt is often used as aggregate and is one of the most prevalent components of buildings, bridges, and other structures. High-quality varieties of basalt are also very popular for sculptures. Like most rocks, basalt is very strong in compression.

3. Flatten the top of the lower stone. Okay, we like the look of this, so let's make that flat-top cut then, using a 4.5″ angle grinder. A regular 4.5″ diamond blade will do the trick, but a flush-cut type blade is nice to have.. Also, let's set the bottom stone on a hard flat surface, to be confident that she will stand upright, no cutting needed.

First, they're hard like a Thai granite mortar and pestle, making them powerful smashers of even tough foods. Second, they're textured, thanks to hundreds of tiny natural holes in the basalt, which results in a surface that produces more friction, and hence grinding power.

They work great. All three models are made for glass but plenty powerful enough for rock. Hard pressure will wear out the grinders quicker so use light pressure (or buy more accessories from me). Gryphon has a 5 year warranty on their "no stall motor" grinders so they are pretty confident you won't wear the unit out.

Grinding performance of graphite (C) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2) impregnated grinding-stone (GS) were investigated in detail. The results illustrated that abrasives pulled-out were dominated with the increase of self-lubricating fillers due to their stratified structure, which reduced the grinding amount and grinding ratio of GS.
