Let's talk about the stone CNC router first. Similar to the wood CNC router, the stone CNC router has the same working principle and structure. But the worktable, CNC router bits, and some other CNC router kits are designed for processing hard stone materials. The stone CNC router machine can carry out the engraving and carving on granite, marble, ceramic tile, etc. It is also used to engrave patterns and characters on granite, limestone, marble, and other stones. The engraving process is realized by the stone CNC router moving its tools repeatedly along the given path. Besides, the engraving depth is adjustable according to the actual needs.

The stone CNC machining center, as suggested in the name, is usually a stone CNC machine with upgraded functions. The stone CNC machining center often has a large working area, for example, 1500*3000. This allows the machining center to carve, engrave, and cut big workpieces. Compared with the stone CNC router, the stone CNC machining center has more complete functions and the processing process is more intelligent. Users only need to input a few simple data to complete the slotting, drilling, edging, and polishing processes. It greatly reduces labor costs and improves work efficiency.

What type of stone CNC machine does Blue Elephant supply?

Blue Elephant currently provides three major types of stone CNC machines. The first one is the stone CNC router or CNC stone engraving machine with various specifications. Customers can customize the specifications of the stone engraving machine to meet specific requirements. For example, customers can choose the worktable size from 600x900mm to 3000*1500mm. Besides, they can also add multiple spindles, a rotary device, an automatic tool changing spindle, or a rotating spindle to the CNC stone engraving machine.

第二种类型是洛杉矶rge-sized stone CNC machining center. This type of stone CNC machine usually has a large worktable and complete functions. The stone CNC machining center is mainly for processing quartz countertops, marble, granite, or other stone slabs. So It is also called the marble engraving machine, CNC granite cutting machine, quartz stone machine, etc.

The third one is a 5 axis CNC stone cutting machine. It combines the CNC router bits and a cutting saw to realize multiple advanced cutting and milling functions. This CNC bridge saw can cut the stone slabs in any angle by adjusting the angle of the saw blade. With optimized CNC software, the CNC bridge saw is simple to learn and operate.

Application of the stone CNC machine

Stone CNC机器广泛用于建筑，装饰，铭文技术，石雕艺术，模型，厨房和浴室台面，手工艺品和其他行业。

A stone engraving machine can engrave multiple stones. For example, granite, marble, sandstone slab, limestone, ceramic tile, quartz, and various artificial stones. The granite carving machine can complete relief engraving, letters and patterns engraving, hollow-out engraving, cutting, milling, and other processes.

The quartz stone CNC machining center integrates the functions of cutting, edging, drilling, polishing, chamfering, and engraving. It mainly processes the quartz stone, marble, granite, artificial stone, slate, and other stone materials. The CNC quartz and marble cutting machine is widely used in forming and polishing kitchen countertops, bathroom countertops, stone coffee tables, special-shaped bar counters, basin holes and arc water blocking.

How much does a stone CNC machine cost?

Since the stone CNC machine has many specifications, the stone CNC machine price varies greatly from machine to machine. The price of a stone CNC router ranges from $3,000 to $30,000 on average. However, a stone CNC machining center may cost you at least $20,000 due to its advanced functions.
The stone engraving machine price depends on many factors, including machine specifications, configuration, selection of parts, after-sales service, and maintenance. In addition, the shipping fees and taxes, if you buy overseas, may also add cost to the stone engraving machine price.

For instance, an entry-level 3 axis 1325 granite CNC router may cost you $6,000. But if you upgrade the worktable to 1500x3000mm, the stone CNC machine price may reach $7,000. Besides, when you add a rotary device, change the spindle into a 4 axis rotating spindle or ATC spindle, its price will continue to rise. Therefore, the stone CNC machine price range is for reference only. Please contact us if you want to know the exact price of a stone engraving machine.

Precautions for buying a suitable stone CNC machine

首先,你需要知道的功能不同types of stone CNC machines. This helps you choose the most suitable machine. The small stone CNC machine has the basic engraving and caving functions, and can process small-sized stones. For example, the stone CNC router can engrave letters, patterns, reliefs, and hollow-out works on granite, marble, and other stone slabs. While a large stone CNC machining center is more often used to process kitchen or bathroom countertops, bar counters, tables, etc. The quartz CNC machine can complete the processing of the front Roman edge, rear water blocking edge, basin hole, tap hole cutting, special shape cutting, grinding and polishing, and the background wall carving.

然后，您需要找到合适的石CNC机器制造商并讨论规格和价格。例如，主轴类型和功率，电动机类型和电源，可工作的大小，导轨，控制系统等。所有这些规格都可以根据您的特定要求来定制。这也意味着您必须清楚自己的处理需求。

Thirdly, remember to sign a contract with the stone CNC machine manufacturer. It can not only specify the rights and obligations but also protect the legitimate rights of both parties. The contract can also be used as the evidence if the stone router machine you received are not correspond to what was described in the contract.

Last but not least, the after-sale service is also an important factor when buying a stone CNC machine. Some small or informal manufacturers usually provide poor or even no after-sales service. This has a great influence on the use and legal rights protection of the machine. So be sure to investigate and check the service system of the manufacturers before buying a stone CNC machine.
