Who's making the ceramic slabs

[Joe Durfee]

I don't know who makes them, but we just fabbed 3 slabs of Neolith that was 8mm thick. We mitered and put aprons on it. It is pretty easy to work with and is resilient as hell. We dropped a couple pieces once they were cut and nothing happened. MY only problem was the slab size, they were 140" x 50" (3556mm x1270mm for our Kiwi friends ) which is bigger than the working envelope of the Combi-cut so it was a little bit of a pain. We also had to put a tile on the top in order to use the gripper to move them around.

Marmo was a great stop to learn some cool things.

Marmo was a cool place to visit. Everyone there is actually out working on things and understanding the tooling that they make. They would get answers in no time and had some really cool new materials and tooling coming out.

Who's making the ceramic slabs

Not sure who is technically MAKING the slabs, but Marmo is distributing them. Container purchasing available to he who is ready to buy.
