Choosing what machine you want — and when you buy it — is a huge step for most fabrication shops. With the continuing development of new equipment and digitial technology, the choices are endless for saws, CNC routers and operator-assisted fabrication machines.
Operator-assisted machines, while less advanced than full CNC machinery, are here to stay in this industry. They are generally much lower priced than fully automatic machines, and they are very familiar to most who have any history in the stone industry. These types of machines are usually developed by individuals seeking a more efficient path to achieving an end process or product.
