This averaging effect occurs in all honing processes; both the workpiece and stones erode until they conform to the average shape of the stones' cutting surface. Since the honing stones tend to ...
Bretonstone, also known as vibro-compression under vacuum, is a formerly-patented technology [2] [3] invented in the early-1970s [citation needed] by Breton S.p.A.

Flagstone is a shallow naturally irregular-edged slab of stone, sometimes sawed into a rectangular shape, used as paving (almost always pedestrian).
