stone letter cutting tools

[Tom Lincoln <thomas.lincoln@zzzzzzzzzzz>]

Hello Stonecutters;

I'm new to this, but intend to inscribe letters in marble.  I have a couple
of basic questions that I expect someone will be able to answer easily:

When working in marble which is preferable;  mallet head or hammer head
chisels?  And which type of mallet or dummy?

While I've found one supplier in Australia (Latham) who doesn't do mail
order, and one in England (Tiranti) who does, I wonder if there are state
side suppliers that any of you would recommend?

Thanks,

Thomas Lincoln
