Tech Update: VO blade for V/O-Cutting by Alpha Professional Tools
Alpha Professional Tools introduces the VO blade for V/O-Cutting — a new method of cutting which is an alternative method to V-Grooving when making thicker waterfall edges appear to have only one seam. This application became possible by the introduction of two edge polishing machines, LCV-M-V/O from Marmo Meccanica S.p.A., a well-known stone fabrication machine manufacturer from Italy.
Traditionally, V-Grooving has been the only method of cutting for lamination to make countertop edges look thicker, without stacking up the strips thus creating multiple seams on the edge. These edge polishing machines come with two spindles at the beginning and at the end of the machine that execute a vertical and a horizontal cut, creating a square profile strip called an “L”-border that is ready to be glued to the slab as the edge.
