Structural Dimensional Technology

The process of fabricating slate counter tops
begins by sawing the blocks on a 7 1/2 foot
diameter computerized monoblade saw from
Park Industries, which cuts them into slabs of
a desired thickness. The slabs then move on
to a 72 inch [1,825 mm] diamond grinder which
is used to calibrate the slabs into the required
thicknesses. The slabs are then placed on the
computerized Ducharme slab polisher, and honed
or polished to the required finish. A gantry saw
is used for sizing, and edge work or sink cut outs
are completed on the L-Tec CNC router.
