There’s nothing quite like the beauty of natural stone. From marble to slate, stone has been used in and around homes as a functional and decorative surface for centuries. With changing tastes, styles and manufacturing processes, also comes changes in the type of stone being used and its installation.

Eurostone Machine USA Inc. and MEC recently announced the successful installation of the first Fast 5 veneer saw. Designed from the ground up to be the fastest and most versatile production veneer saw, the Fast 5 has exceeded all original expectations.

As a quarrier and processor of domestic stone since 2003, Chippewa Stone of Whitehall, NY, has grown its business by expanding into the thin stone veneer market.
