Chattanooga Marble Experts, Premier Stone Services, Discuss CNC Machines vs. Manual Cutting of Stone

    NORCROSS, GA, September 10, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Chattanooga granite countertops manufacturers Premier Stone Services note that the process of making stone countertops and other surfaces has become more technologically precise over the past few decades. The most advanced tool is a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine. The CNC machine does a multitude of tasks. It cuts, edges, polishes, and grooves the stone. The machine handles the majority of the work, so employees can focus on the final finishing process.

Advantages of CNC Machines over Manual Cutting

The primary benefit of the CNC machine for consumers is its accuracy and therefore, the quality of the finished product. Stone that is manually cut will have small ripples and dimples, whereas a product cut using a CNC machine is perfectly straight.
A CNC machine has other advantages. It can produce complicated shapes that would not be possible to achieve with manually-operated machines. It also allows the program to be repeated as many times as needed.

How CNC Machines Work

The process begins with a computer-aided design (CAD) drawing that is created in 2D or 3D. Then a code is created that the CNC machine will understand. The computer program is customized for each individual product with CNC machining language that controls things like feed rate, coordination, positioning, and speeds. The program is loaded into the computer. Then, test run is done to make sure that it is working properly.

Dara Summers, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Premier Stone Services, the leading maker of granite countertops in Chattanooga, says, "We use CNC machines to ensure that our countertops and other surfaces are perfectly cut." Premier Stone Services offers a variety of stone, both natural and manufactured, at their granite warehouse in Chattanooga.
