Jade carving tool
(1). The flat knitting machine (desktop) desktop evolved directly from the traditional equipment water stool and rose in the 1980s. It replaces the traditional pedal hand mill with electric shaft movement, which greatly improves the work efficiency of jade carving workers. Because this kind of machine can do most kinds of work independently, it is still the most necessary professional equipment today. Although the desktop can do almost all the work without other equipment, in view of the current development of equipment, it is more efficient to do most of the small work by other equipment, so the more important task of this type of machine in this era is heavy work, such as cutting blanks and so on.
(2) Crane (flexible shaft machine)
At first, the main application scope of the flexible spindle machine was the large-scale jade carving works that could not be carried out on the desktop, and it was usually used in conjunction with hand-held equipment such as the electric mill to complete the meticulous work that could not be carried out by the electric mill. Because the fixed grinding head on the desktop is not as flexible as the handle when dealing with some models, many people will choose to apply the flexible shaft machine to some smaller or more special models.
(3). Dental machines
Due to the continuous improvement of the fine requirements for jade articles, jade carvers are constantly looking for and trying more favorable equipment. Dental machines are medical equipment borrowed by dentists. Its flexibility is the best of all models at present, so it is mainly used for detail processing, but it is of little value in heavy work.
