Te Granite Tika: He Huringa Kēmu mō te Hoahoa Taputapu Whatu.

 

I te ao hoahoa taputapu whatu, ka pā nui ngā rauemi e whakamahia ana ki te mahi, te roa, me te tika. He rauemi tino rerekē te karāhe tino tika. E mōhiotia ana mō tōna pumau me tōna pakari, kei te huri haere te karāhe tino tika i te huarahi e hangaia ai, e huihuia ai hoki ngā wāhanga whatu.

Mā tēnei pumau ka mau tonu te tūnga me te tika o ngā pūnaha whatu i roto i te wā, he mea nui tēnei mō ngā mahi mahi teitei pērā i ngā karu tiro, ngā karu hiko me ngā pūnaha taiaho.

Hei tāpiritanga, mā te whakamahi i te karāhe tino tika i roto i te hoahoa taputapu whatu ka taea te hanga i ngā pūnaha kiato, kia māmā ake. He maha ngā wā ka hiahiatia he hanganga tautoko tāpiri mō te pumau i ngā rauemi tuku iho, ka tāpirihia he taumaha me te uaua ki te hoahoa. He rerekē, ka taea te mīhini i te karāhe tino tika ki ngā āhua me ngā whirihoranga uaua, ka whakaitihia te hiahia mō ngā wāhanga tāpiri me te whakapai ake i te mahi whānui.
