What is a CNC Stone Router?
July 05 , 2024

A CNC Stone Router is a computer-controlled cutting machine related to stone engraving machines used to cut a variety of hard materials. They are essential machines for many stone engraving applications.


The main components of a CNC engraving machine include a dedicated software system, a controller (and its drivers), a cutting table and engraver spindle, and coolant to ensure the longevity of the tool.


The software is the brains of the operation, responsible for translating the digital design into physical coordinates for the machine to follow. The most common types are CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) software. The spindle of a stone carving machine is the heart of the machine. It is the part that does the actual cutting, rotating the cutting tool at high speeds to cut the material.


While CNC Stone Routers are known for cutting wood and metal, they can also effectively cut stone, which we'll explore below. Our CNC stone carving machines are specifically designed to work with stone rather than wood, especially by adding a constant stream of water to cool the tool and then circulating it back to the machine.


Various types of stone can be cut using the CNC Stone Engraver. These include but are not limited to marble, granite, limestone, sandstone, and slate. Let's take a closer look.


Marble is a soft stone that can be easily carved and sculpted using a CNC Stone Router. It is an excellent choice for intricate designs.


Granite is a harder stone and requires more power to cut. However, even complex designs are possible with the right CNC Stone Router and cutting tools.


Limestone, like marble, is relatively soft and can be cut using a CNC Stone Router. It is commonly used for decorative features and wall cladding.


Sandstone is another stone that can be easily cut with a CNC stone carver, making it ideal for a variety of decorative uses.


Slate is known for its fine grain and hardness and is commonly used for flooring, roofing and paving slabs. CNC milling machines can cut and carve slate with precision, making it an invaluable tool for craftsmen and builders.
