Hindi Bridge saws are essential tools in the stone fabrication industry, widely used to cut granite, marble, quartz, and sintered stone for countertops, floors, and decorative pieces. With advanced cutting capabilities and automation features, they greatly improve processing efficiency and product quality.Among the most common models on the market are the 4 Axis , 4+1 Axis , and 5 Axis CNC bridge saws . But how do you choose the right one?At Midecnc , we provide tailored solutions for various processing needs. Below, we break down the key differences, advantages, and use cases for each type of machine.
| Feature | 4 Axis | 4+1 Axis | 5 Axis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blade Movement | X, Y, Z, A | X, Y, Z, A (+ fixed C) | X, Y, Z, A, C (full motion) |
| C-Axis Control | None | Manual/Indexed | Fully Automatic |
| Suitable for | Straight + angled cuts | Sink cutouts, tapers | Complex 3D shapes, miters |
| Programming | Basic | Intermediate | Advanced |
| Price | Entry-level, most affordable | Mid-range, balanced cost and value | High-end, premium investment |
| Automation Level | Moderate | High | Full |
4 Axis CNC Stone Cutting and Edge Polishing Machine
Ideal for: Straight cutting, chamfering, and simple shape profiling
