Sintered stone, also known as porcelain slabs, is durable, versatile, and perfect for modern interior design. Cutting sintered stone requires precision to avoid chipping or waste. Using CNC for porcelain slabs ensures accurate and efficient results for countertops, tiles, and decorative panels.
1. Understanding Sintered Stone
- High durability and hardness
- Less porous and stain-resistant
- Available in large thin slabs for modern designs
Manual cutting is challenging; CNC machines provide precision, speed, and repeatable quality.
2. Choosing the Right CNC Machine
- High rigidity and stability: Reduces vibration for clean cuts
- Water cooling system: Prevents overheating and chipping
- Compatible tool library: Diamond-tipped blades for porcelain
- Multi-axis capability (4+1 or 5 axis): Allows complex angles and bevels
Midecnc 4+1 axis and 5 axis CNC bridge saws are built for sintered stone, granite, and marble.
3. Cutting Techniques for Sintered Stone
- Secure the slab: Use vacuum clamps or soft pads to prevent scratches.
- Select the correct blade or tool: Diamond-tipped blades; match diameter and speed to slab thickness.
- Optimize cutting parameters: Moderate feed rate, appropriate spindle speed, continuous water cooling.
- Execute the cut: Run CNC program or G-code; use multiple passes for thick slabs.
4. Tips for Maximum Efficiency
- Pre-plan toolpaths to reduce cutting time
- Test on sample pieces to ensure clean cuts
- Maintain CNC machine calibration and blade sharpness
- Polish edges for smooth, aesthetic results
5. Advantages of CNC Cutting for Sintered Stone
- High precision for design specifications
- Fast production and reduced labor time
- Minimized material waste
- Consistent results for multiple slabs
- Ability to cut complex angles, curves, and bevels
