There are two types of scutch comb: those designed to cut marble and those for use on stone.
The difference is in the number of teeth, as more teeth are needed to cut through marble. |
|||
Marble scutch combs |
||||
 |
A marble scutch comb has 7 teeth per inch. The more teeth per inch, the sharper and finer those teeth tend to be. This helps when it comes to cutting marble, which is a fine grain stone that needs fine teeth to cut it. | |||
Stone scutch combs |
||||
 |
A stone scutch comb has 5 teeth per inch. | |||
 |
The best scutch combs to purchase are those created for hard bricks/stone (the marble scutch comb) as they are universal in cutting both hard and soft bricks/stone. | |||
