When fabricating kitchen and bathroom countertops, many prefer to use thinner slabs of marble, granite, or engineered stone and then glue a frontal piece to it to increase the thickness of the visible edge.

The Montresor Company presents the new, totally automatic V-groove device, that creates a double 45 degree angled cut, to obtain two polished slab pieces with groove for insert, to be glued perfectly at 90 degrees.

The device consists of two opposing blades working at 45 degrees.  The blades cut the slab leaving 0,2-0,5 mm of uncut material on the polished side of the slab.  Traditional diamond blades are used in the operation without the need for special milling cutters.  The rotation speed of the blades is adjustable depending on the hardness and thickness of the piece in order to work the best way.

The complete operation is controlled by PLC, and the operator has only to set the cutting position which will establish the size of the frontal part to be glued.

The device is completely protected to avoid contact of dirt and water with moving parts.

The reason why this system is so important is the possibility to install it on the full range of our edge polishers.

Two operations in one:  straight or bullnose edge and V-groove at the same time.  And the result is granted by the 50 year long experience and reliability of Montresor.
