To clarify the “Machine of the Month” item published in the March 2010 issue of Stone World, the Fab King is manufactured by RYE Corp. of Lenoir City, TN, and it is distributed by: GranQuartz, Granite City Tool, Regent Stone Products, Eastern Marble, Diaco Innovations and VIC International.

The Fab King is a precision 3-axis workstation with open gantry. This unit is designed to produce bowl holes fast and accurately, and it also profiles edges using standard manual router tooling. Linear guides on gantry rails insure smooth travel of the X and Y axis. An added feature of this machine is the ability to surface polish, which allows the user to make repairs on scratched stone. The Fab King is driven by a powerful 3-horsepower, variable-speed (2,700 to 10,000 rpm) motor. The 220-volt, single-phase power requirement allows the Fab King to be added to any stone fabrication shop. Moreover, the open gantry design allows for processing of large projects. Made in the U.S., the Fab King features adjustable table height and water flow with center and halo water feed. The machine was designed to be easy to install and operate, and it also offers dust-free operation to help meet OSHA requirements. Spare parts, tooling and support are readily available.

The 2010 model Sink Hole SaverTM VCM is Omni Cubed’s newest manual-pump vacuum cup countertop strengthener, which protects finished stone pieces from breakage during lifting, moving and installation. The product is suitable for shower walls or curved and “bump-out” countertops, and can be combined with the original Sink Hole Saver strengthening rail (mechanical clamp version) for added versatility during installations, reports the manufacturer. The product features large 6-inch vacuum cups, which can be re-pumped without removal or loss of remaining suction. The cups quickly slide and lock in the rail for custom placement on shower walls or around sink holes. All Sink Hole Saver models are available in 4-, 6- and 8-foot lengths.
