Now, the advent of waterjet cutting is allowing marble to become more widely specified for less exotic applications and marble surfaces are being increasingly used in everything from office buildings to kitchen worktops.
KMT, the leading supplier of waterjet cutting systems, manufactures machines capable of precisely cutting marble without producing any dust or fumes and without distorting the surrounding material.
Marble is of course still expensive and over recent years spiralling labour costs have generally inhibited the production of intricate patterns, mosaics and designs by hand cutting and routing.
A KMT powered waterjet cutting machine is able to cut any shape or thickness required and does it in a fraction of the time of traditional methods and without the need for highly skilled craftsmen.
The KMT Streamline SL-IV 50HP pump produces 3800bar (55000psi) to supply the CNC controlled AUTOLINE cutting head that can be programmed to rapidly cut any required profile.
Companies investing in the new machine can benefit from an increasing demand from customers for floors incorporating intricate and decorative patterns that can rival presidential palaces if required.
Marble and stone can also be cut with much greater precision and speed and far more cost effectively than before.
