couldnt you just draw squares or circles on a separate cad drawing and replicate the pods that way ?

is there a purge tap from your water pump?

when this happens to me I have to plug a pipe from the vacuum manifold to the water pump and suck it through with the system, I only get this when the external water tanks have gone to low or when I empty the slurry tanks.

how are you guys stopping your vacuum systems on your CNCs from freezing? both my intermacs are giving me hell with it today. after every job I have to pour boiling water over the manifolds and pipes and then I flush 25l of hot water through the system to clear it but it keeps coming back. its -4 ou...

Right then, the machine is now up and running. the travel speed of this machine is immense, made the engineer jump out of his skin when he parked it at front of machine, this beats the master 53 we had last year hands down. normally takes around 50minutes from start to finish bowl cut / pol, drainer...

we had the DEKTON Representative in yesterday for a training session.

at first we were always advised to do Dekton and all sinks CW

We had a lot of blowouts on the lead out, yesterday we were told to cut DEKTON sinks CCW and it cut like a dream.


very quiet pulling 6-8 amps all the way through.

has anybody on here got a parts list or manual for a Thibaut t108 please. the company in UK that has been thibauts uk partner for the past 30 years have now parted and we are struggling to find parts. we need to order direct from France now but we need part numbers. if anyone has got a diagram or si...

We had our intermac master 33.3 delivered yesterday, just waiting for engineers to turn up and and get it installed, i saw a previous post about needing a step ladder and i know what you mean we have the master 53 and it is a nightmare to get on and off without tripping on suction pod pipes, this on...

thats the problem i've got, its an old tool out of the tool closet was purchased before my time here i think its a nicolai diamant , ive set up it @ 800mm/min / 6500 rpm cutting nice pulling 3 amps.

for marble its really hard material called "brown fantasy" here in UK not sure of origin though

I use a Acid based de-scaler, leave it to soak for 5 mins and run a diamond tipped brush over the bed gets it back to factory finish every time.

just use minimal de-scaler so it doesn't go back into water system etc.

Hi Guys can anybody advise me on feeds and speeds for an electroplated marble router 17mm x 55mm. 2cm thick its been that long since we have done a sink cut out in marble we have changed all computers and changed from Thibaut CNCs to Intermac losing any info we had on tooling before. will be running...

it seems really strong for what i was expecting, tried everything to get it to snap under normal conditions and it stayed strong, i wouldn't want to chance going any deeper than 3mm deep though. however the job requires a cut out which could change everything, i will be doing a cut out later on this...

Been Doing some trials on a scrap piece of 12mm this morning,

Thanks for the replies on this personally i agree its too risky in 12mm, however our customer has been in contact with consentino and they have been advised that it is achievable with a small milling wheel that fits in the gearbox of drainer groove wheels.

will let you all know how we get on

Hi guys We have a had a request from a customer wanting a LED Groove on the underside of Dekton. 3mm deep 15mm wide. My CNC is a Intermac Master 53, our CNC Saw is a GMM. we don't have any problems fabricating dekton usually but as we all know on here you cant plunge cut the stuff. has anyone on her...

has anyone used or got one of these http://phototemplater.com/ we are looking at getting one just wondering if anyone can give me advice as to whether they are worth it or not. we produce around 40 stone kitchens a week at present and looking for ways to stop the bottleneck from the cad office Sam
