Claim 21:
22. A method comprising the steps of:
causing a tool device to travel in an x-y plane in order to create a physically disrupted region in a mixture of aggregate minerals;
using a mechanism of the tool device to vary a width of the physically disrupted region of the mixture while traveling in the x-y plane; and
wherein the tool device configured to be used in the manufacturing of engineered stone slabs;
wherein the tool device is a carving device with a V-shaped component having a vertex which is configured to cut through the mixture of aggregate minerals and thereby create the physically disrupted region when the carving device travels in the x-y plane; and
wherein the carving device has a compression component, connected to the V-shaped component, but separate from the V-shaped component, wherein the compression component presses down on the mixture while the carving device travels in the x-y plane.
