When it comes to stone fabrication, efficiency and precision are key. Traditional stone bridge saws equipped with circular blades excel at straight cuts, making them ideal for slabs, countertops, and tiles. However, when you need to cut intricate shapes—like sink cutouts, cooktop holes, or decorative curves—a standard bridge saw falls short. That’s where waterjet cutting comes in.
But why not use a waterjet for the entire job? While waterjets are unmatched for detailed interior cuts, they’re slower than saws for straight edges. Switching between two machines means extra costs, double handling, repeated alignment, and the risk of damaging fragile stone slabs during transfer.
HORD Machinery solves this problem with our CNC Stone Bridge Saw with Waterjet —a game-changing hybrid machine that combines the speed of a bridge saw with the precision of a waterjet on a single cutting platform.
Why Choose a Combined Bridge Saw & Waterjet System?
1. One Machine, Two Cutting Methods
- Bridge Saw Mode: Quickly cut straight lines, bevel edges, and trim slabs with high-speed diamond blades.
- Waterjet Mode: Effortlessly create perfect holes, curves, and complex shapes without chipping or cracking the stone.
2. Save Time & Reduce Material Waste
- No more moving slabs between machines—cut everything in one setup.
- Eliminate alignment errors and handling risks, reducing costly breakage.
3. More Affordable Than Buying Separate Machines
- A single investment replaces two machines, saving on purchase costs, floor space, and maintenance.
4. Ideal for Countertops, Sinks, and Custom Designs
- Perfect for kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, and curved architectural elements.
- Seamlessly switch between cutting modes without interrupting workflow.
How It Works
The CNC-controlled system allows operators to program both saw and waterjet cuts in one job. Load the stone once, and the machine handles the rest—whether it’s ripping slabs or carving intricate drain grooves.
Who Benefits from This Machine?
- Stone Fabricators – Speed up production while expanding design capabilities.
- Countertop Manufacturers – Cut sink openings and faucet holes with flawless accuracy.
- Monument & Architectural Stone Workers – Create detailed engravings and custom shapes.
Conclusion
HORD Machinery’s CNC Stone Bridge Saw with Waterjet is the smartest upgrade for stone shops looking to boost productivity and versatility. By merging two essential tools into one, we eliminate inefficiencies and open up new creative possibilities—all while keeping costs lower than owning separate machines.
