AccuGlide Saws AccuGlide Saws offers a miter cutting workstation for fabricators looking to increase miter cut quality. The system clamps directly to the stone material for more stability and less vibration. It has a quick-adjust design for fast setup and a cutting length capacity of up to 11 ft. AccuGlide developed this workstation as a companion to a bridge saw and addressed the issue of curved miter cuts. When cutting at 45 degrees, it is easy to get a curve whenever the slab is dished or crowned. In comparison, this system relies on cutting straight first with a bridge or rail saw followed by a miter cut with the AccuGlide. This special “feather miter” technique can produce clean and straight miter cuts that do not require the traditional hand grinding and re-straightening prior to lamination. It’s made for 2cm to 3cm material including quartz, sintered porcelain, granite, marble and quartzite. More information is available at https://accuglidesaws.com/ accuglide-miter-cutting-station.

Ghines Group SYSTAR XL, offered by Ghines Group, is a stone fab center, stone cutting machine and miter saw in one. The machines have high-end linear guides and a nonvibrating steel frame designed to perform accurate straight and miter cuts. The highly precise V cut allows the edges to appear as a natural continuity of the veins. Fabricators will be able to create and finish big islands or L-shaped worktops out of one piece, without moving the slab. Other applications include: arches, architectural elements, backsplashes, fireplaces, L-shaped islands, sills, stairs and worktops. Stone processing types include: stone cutting four sides at 90 or 45 degrees; shaping and polishing (internal and external); cutting out sink holes (also by blade); recessed drainer/ drain grooves; slots on edges; and edge polishing (on straight and inclined edges). It also allows for large work strokes because of the open frame with no limits for the length of the slab. It includes nine spindle positions and fast tool changer.
