Stone working machines

Stone-working machinery includes equipment for cutting, drilling, grinding and polishing natural and artificial stone. Key areas include stone-cutting machines (bridge saws, block saws for granite, marble and quartz materials) and stone-drilling machines.

For surface finishing, stone grinding machines (edge and surface grinders) and stone polishing systems are used to produce high-gloss surfaces. CNC-controlled machining centres for the complete processing of kitchen worktops and washbasins are also widely used.

Leading manufacturers include Breton, Pellegrini, Cooper, Comandulli, GMM, Pedrini, Intermac, Donatoni and Bavelloni.

Stone processing machines are used in stonemasonry workshops, in granite and marble processing, by manufacturers of kitchen worktops and sanitaryware, in the production of cladding and flooring, and in the manufacture of gravestones and sculptures.
