Some interesting differences of approach to discussing seam placement with customers. "He also said the templater never talked about seam placement because they are trained/forbidden from doing so." This is the opposite of what we do. The measurer has slab sizes on his paperwork so he is able to det...

As long as we're talking scams; On craigslist and facebook I see listings for ridiculous prices, most recently a JD 6 wheel Gator worth something well in excess of $6000 for $1800. they want name address and email. what is the value of that info for them ? thx to anyone providing insight. Personally...

Larry; did u ever get a license? Propagation is finally improving as the solar activity increases after 5 long years of minimal levels.

"Do they still work for you?"

yea; VERY luckily I had the screen from the proedge I had scrapped previously. Every time I do a safety meeting and talk about no horseplay I mention "... and you might trash a $4000 touch screen."

it's pretty effective.

I am retiring a Park ProEdge III. It needs a mitre arm and the replacement cost of the arm is nearly as much as the machine is worth so my intention is to scrap it. The machine is fully operational so controls and hydraulics are all 100% operational . If you want the whole machine make me an offer. ...

New low price. 2005 with programmable step and repeat and mitering capability. Steel post supports so no concrete or block work required. Rebuilt tilt turntable 2019 by Granite Mechanix. Removed and prepped for ship by Granite Mechanix. Was used every day until a month ago. only selling the Yukon be...

Bump Price reduced $25k. Saw was properly disassembled and prepped for shipment by Greg from Granite Mechanix. Greg is also the person who rebuilt the turntable last year. This is a good saw and could be cutting for you the day after you get it. send me a pm or call three 2 oh 49 three three 727. ma...

Make me an offer. Saw is outside and ready to be loaded on your truck.

Not sure. what differentiates the II? I looked up the specs and couldn't find any difference beyond the paint job. It has been a good saw for us. our best years have been nearly $3 million in sales and it was all sawn on this saw.

This machine has been our workhorse for over 10 years. Only selling to make space for a CNC saw. Steel post side frames. Tilt turntable was rebuilt last year. Machine is still in use every day in excellent mechanical condition and ready for a new owner.. Machine will be available in early August. ma...

As part of our silica mitigation program we instituted washdowns at the end and beginning of each day. The morning washdown gets whatever areas weren't washed clean the nite before as evidenced by the chalky residue. You might also check your lighting. Poorly lit areas like corners or behind machine...

I saw a Thibaut in operation and was very impressed. Additionally, here in St. Cloud there is a large monument business that has several Thibaut machines and they are very happy with the performance and support. I got a lot more interested in the Thibaut after visiting them. The jig saw works very w...

I have recently looked at Breton and have considerable experience as an existing Park customers. For service my expectation is that almost any problem can be diagnosed remotely and I can have a part the next day. I believe this would be true for both companies for the vast majority of problems. The ...

Join the forum. Worth every penny. For 100 sq. ft. per day one install crew can easily handle that; if your service area is small you could install 3 days per week and have the installers available to the shop the other two. One of them could be your field measure guy. For shop equipment it depends ...

I just spent considerable time researching this. Here are some attributes I found important: All have a 5 axis motion with an arrangement to to use a step cutting bit for inside corners. This bit can also be used to cut out sinks but it is slow; taking an estimated 40 minutes for a typical 2 bowl ki...

get the measurements from someone with the same saw and draw up a sketch. any metal fab shop should be able to easily make you what you need. you could also just measure the inside dims of the pocket and get stops made to fit.

the stops on my saw are solid metal.

"should fix most of these problems while creating a bunch of new ones"

had a similar experience switching from tape measure field measures to LT55.

definitely getting slower for log-in.

Cleaned out a closet and found (8) brand new diamut tools that never got used up as we made a change to a different supplier a couple years ago. Tools are: DGH72879, DGH72880, DGH82881, DGH83043 DHH75507 DLG60656,DLG60657,DLG60684 Tools are new in box never used. $1200 and they're yours. I can send ...

I am an electrical engineer with about 40 years experience and I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. It's highly unlikely you'd ever get it to work. Park Industries 1st CNC attempt was a PC based abortion that they quickly abandoned and went to a true CNC controller based control architecture. Th...

Join the forum. It'll be the best $100 you ever spent. I've been at this for going on 20 years and I still regularly learn new things on this forum. In my experience it takes about 6 months for a new person to get far enough up the learning curve that they can confidently answer most customer questi...

On an older machine your concern needs to focus on the sustainability of the controls and the operator interface which is typically PC based. Your best bet would be to arrange an inspection/repair by a qualified tech. Assuming he can get the machine operating correctly you still have to deal with th...

IMHO those are not bad. not great but not horrible. Color matching white tops is difficult. you can probably improve things by ordering a seam adhesive specifically color matched to the quartz color. several adhesive vendors have specific colors for various quartz colors. Dig out the top of the exis...

My numbers are much like Dave's. Since we went to a substantial in house inventory and we have a handful of colors that are high volume we use 20% waste for typical natural stone and 27% for stone that has movement. These percentages are built into our bidding tool. We don't break out quartz as it i...
