CNC Stone Router

Here are some key features and components of a CNC stone router:

Spindle
The spindle in a CNC stone router is the motorized component that holds and rotates the cutting tool or router bit. It is specially designed to handle the rigors of cutting and carving stone materials.

Cutting Table
The cutting table provides a sturdy and flat surface where the stone slab or workpiece is placed and secured during the routing process. The table may have clamps or vacuum hold-downs to keep the stone in place.

Control System
The CNC stone router is operated through a control system that consists of a computer and CNC software. The operator uses the software to program the cutting specifications and design instructions, which are then executed by the machine.

Diamond Tooling
Instead of conventional metal router bits, CNC stone routers use diamond tooling. Diamond tools are specifically designed for cutting and shaping hard stone materials. They can vary in shape, size, and configuration to achieve different cutting and carving effects.

Dust Collection System
Stone cutting and carving generate a significant amount of dust and debris. A CNC stone router often includes a dust collection system to remove the stone particles, keeping the work area clean and maintaining visibility during the cutting process.

Water Cooling System
To prevent overheating of the cutting tools and to reduce dust during cutting, a CNC stone router may have a water cooling system. Water is sprayed onto the cutting area to keep the tools and the stone material cool, prolonging the lifespan of the tools and improving cutting performance.
