I know what you’re thinking, “That picture isn’t of Jennifer Richinelli.” As you may, or may not, know I am the managing editor here at Stone World magazine, Jason Kamery. Jenn was hoping to write this letter but unfortunately has been sick recently and unable to write. Don’t worry, by the time you read this she will be back in action and you will all be able to see her in Chicago for Coverings. By the way, you can read our preview for the 2016 edition of Coverings on page 82.
Last year when Stone World covered CNC machines, we took the perspective of the fabricator, having them share their experiences and hesitations about making the investment in the machines. This year when Jenn and I were planning the article, we decided to take a slightly different approach and talk to the CNC manufacturers. We thought it would be important for fabricators to see what the CNC manufacturers are saying about their own equipment, their opinion of the future of the CNC machine and their own observations from working with fabricators around the country. You can read more about it on page 58.
