Abstract (en)

A method for manufacturing antique mosaic tesserae, comprising the steps of: placing a slab-like matrix (5) under a cutting unit (1), arranging the matrix (5) upside down so that the exposed face is directed away from the unit; scoring the laying side along at least two directions and to a preset and adjustable depth, creating preferential fracture lines (6); fracturing the slab-like matrix (5) scored on the laying face; and tumbling the resulting tesserae in order to round their edges. <IMAGE>
