Thanks to all... I think "stone mill" sounds best Thanks to all!

This is what they were calling it in the 17th C! The stonemason's yard... the link seems to take a while to open...

Enjoy it!
Noni Gilbert Riley Mar 5, 2010:
Mind you, Having looked at the DRAE entry, I see why you're heading in that direction. But what came to mind for me was more those places where they prepare lápidas - there's one on the edge of town here. Let me think...
Noni Gilbert Riley Mar 5, 2010:
Please Could we have a sentence if possible? The quarry idea didn't leap out at me but you may have more context.
Cheers Justin - Noni

stone mill

My answer is based on the website "stonecarver.com" that is the site of a fellow who studied stone carving in Italy and has worked with stone at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. In http://www.stonecarver.com/carvtool.html he states: "The stone is cut from the quarries in large blocks, typically weighing 20 tons. These blocks are transported to stone mills, where they are sawn to size. The saw in this image has a nine foot diameter diamond-tipped blade. Blades of this type were first invented in the 1890's, and now typically use synthetic diamonds for their teeth. Slabs and tiles are cut with multi-bladed gang saws, which look a bit like giant cheese slicers."
