Modern stone masons' tools - SMC222


These are some of the modern tools that are now used by stone masons.

The modern tools include diamond disc grinders, pneumatic hammers and tungsten tipped chisels. These tools make stone masons' jobs easier and quicker but traditional tools are still used for certain tasks.

In recent times it has become necessary for stone masons to look after their health and safety. Dust extractors are used in workshops and air hoods are used when working. This is to reduce the risk of inhaling dust, from the stone, and developing silicosis. Silicosis is a form of lung cancer that many stone masons used to die from.
