Independent Milling Head for Stone Fabrication
The independent milling head expands the machining capability of HD-350M beyond conventional slab cutting.
Depending on the selected tooling and material, it can be used for compatible operations such as:
- Sink openings
- Faucet holes
- Drain holes
- Circular holes
- Drilling
- Local milling
- Selected profiling
This configuration is especially useful for countertop manufacturers who need to complete cutting and selected machining operations within the same production workflow.
Hydraulic Tilting Worktable
The worktable provides a 0°–85° tilting range to assist with slab loading and positioning.
Large stone slabs can be difficult to handle manually, particularly when working with heavy marble, granite, quartzite or other large-format materials.
The hydraulic tilting system provides controlled movement of the worktable and can make machine setup more convenient for operators.
Optional 45° Bevel Cutting
HD-350M can be configured with an optional 45° bevel cutting function.
This option can be useful for:
- Angled countertop edges
- Architectural stone components
- Selected miter-related fabrication
- Decorative stone details
- Customized angled parts
The actual cutting capability depends on the final machine configuration, blade selection, material and processing requirements.
CNC Control and Production Workflow
HD-350M uses CNC control to manage machine movement and programmed cutting operations.
The system is designed to support both automatic production and manual adjustment when required.
Typical functions include:
- Cutting parameter input
- CNC program operation
- Automatic cutting
- Manual positioning
- Position adjustment
- Production quantity management
- Machine status monitoring
- Emergency stop functions
This makes the machine suitable for both customized orders and repetitive production.
HD-350M vs. Other HORD Stone Cutting Machines
Choosing the right configuration depends on the complexity of the customer’s production.
HD-350M vs. HD-350P
Both machines include an independent milling head.
The key difference is the cutting configuration:
HD-350P: 3+1
HD-350M: 4+1
HD-350M provides an additional cutting axis, making it the better choice when the production requires greater cutting-head orientation flexibility.
HD-350M vs. HD-350T
HD-350T is designed for standard three-axis CNC stone cutting.
HD-350M adds both:
4-axis cutting + independent milling
It is therefore intended for fabricators with more advanced cutting and machining requirements.
HD-350M vs. HD-500M
HD-500M provides a higher 5+1 configuration.
HD-350M is a practical choice for customers who require four-axis cutting capability but do not need the additional capability of a 5+1 system.
Materials for HD-350M CNC Stone Cutting
| Material | Typical Fabrication Applications |
|---|---|
| Marble | Countertops, vanity tops, architectural stone |
| Granite | Countertops, worktops, architectural components |
| Quartz | Kitchen countertops and bathroom surfaces |
| Quartzite | Premium countertops and architectural surfaces |
| Porcelain | Countertops, wall panels and interior applications |
| Sintered Stone | Countertops, panels and architectural applications |
Why Choose HD-350M?
HD-350M is designed for stone fabricators who have moved beyond basic straight cutting but do not necessarily need a large multifunction CNC machining center.
Its core value comes from the combination of:
4-Axis CNC Stone Cutting + Independent Milling + Large-Format Processing
This configuration provides a practical balance between cutting flexibility and secondary machining capability for professional stone fabrication businesses.
Frequently Asked Questions About HD-350M
What is the HD-350M 4+1 Axis CNC Stone Cutting Machine?
HD-350M is a CNC stone cutting system with four cutting axes — X, Y, Z and C — plus an independent milling head for compatible secondary machining.
What does 4+1 axis mean?
The four axes control the main cutting system, while the “+1” refers to the independent milling head. It is not the same as a fully interpolated five-axis machining system.
What is the advantage of the fourth axis?
The fourth axis provides additional control over cutting-head orientation and allows greater flexibility for selected angled, customized and multi-directional cutting operations.
What is the difference between HD-350M and HD-350P?
HD-350P is a 3+1 configuration, while HD-350M is a 4+1 configuration. Both include independent milling, but HD-350M provides an additional CNC cutting axis.
Can HD-350M cut marble?
Yes. HD-350M is designed for suitable marble cutting applications using the appropriate diamond blade and cutting parameters.
Can HD-350M process granite and quartz?
Yes. The machine can process suitable granite, quartz and quartzite applications with appropriate tooling and operating parameters.
Can it process porcelain and sintered stone?
Yes, for suitable applications. Proper diamond tooling, cooling and cutting parameters are required for these materials.
Can HD-350M make sink openings?
Yes. The independent milling head can be configured for compatible sink-opening operations depending on the required geometry and tooling.
Can it drill faucet holes?
Yes. The independent milling head can perform suitable drilling and hole-milling operations for countertop fabrication.
Does HD-350M support 45° cutting?
A 45° bevel cutting function is available as an optional configuration.
What is the working area?
The standard working area is approximately 3200 × 2000 mm.
Is HD-350M a full 5-axis CNC machining center?
No. HD-350M is a 4+1 Axis CNC Stone Cutting Machine. Its four-axis cutting system and independent milling head are different from a fully interpolated 5-axis machining center.
Who should choose HD-350M?
It is particularly suitable for professional stone fabricators, countertop manufacturers and architectural stone companies that need more flexibility than a standard 3-axis machine.
When should I choose HD-350M instead of HD-350P?
Choose HD-350M when your production requires greater cutting-head orientation flexibility in addition to the independent milling capability offered by both machines.
When should I choose HD-500M instead?
HD-500M is more appropriate when your production requires the additional capabilities of a 5+1 configuration. HD-350M is a more focused 4+1 solution.
