[santanota]

HI Guys

I'm again solicite your advice
I bought a radial arm The first one in Colombia ( I suppose ) and I'd like to create drainboards in granite and silestone
Could you suggest the tooling and steps needed in order to create a glossy surface

Looking forward your comments and suggestions

Many of use use cnc's to pitch and polish drain boards. Using a radial arm I feel like it would be difficult to pitch the board with the nature of how flat those machine works. You would probably need a jig as a sort of guide to keep the heads from running out of the shape you're trying to do. Sounds like you should run a test first, but I'm having trouble figuring how you would pitch it.

It is easy I can do one on my wizard with a sink hole in 2-3 hours , I use a pattern and a tool package that I orderd with the wizard , in the manual they out line how to do it ,simple .
if you want I can take a picture of what tools I use .

Ghines is an SFA sponsor. You should be able contact them directly for information on tooling for that machine. I had the opportunity to visit their facilty in Italy, with a group of North American fabricators. guides is a first class operation with a real passion for stone processing equipment.
