Precision Cutting & Shaping: Where Expertise Meets Technology in Our Workshop
At Mayflower Stone in Plymouth, the journey of your chosen stone truly begins in our cutting and shaping department. We utilise a suite of three advanced GMM saws, each playing a crucial role in transforming raw material into your bespoke design.
Our two large, state-of-the-art GMM saws are the workhorses for intricate and curved work. Before any cutting commences, every slab undergoes meticulous inspection by our experienced sawyers. They carefully assess the material, identifying any natural characteristics such as small fissures or vents, which are expertly filled when necessary to ensure a flawless final product. Once the material meets our stringent quality standards, the pre-programmed saws begin their precise work, cutting and shaping the stone with both speed and efficiency, bringing complex designs to life.
Complementing our larger saws is a versatile smaller GMM saw. While primarily used for smaller projects and for precisely reducing the thickness of upstands from 30mm to 20mm, this machine also boasts full CNC (Computer Numerical Control) capability. This means it possesses the same advanced technology as our larger saws and can expertly handle intricate and curved designs when required, providing flexibility and precision for all types of projects.
The Art of Perfection: Precision CNC Machining & Hand-Finished Excellence
Following the precise cutting and shaping of your chosen stone, the material moves to our advanced CNC machining centre, home to three sophisticated machines. These are meticulously programmed to execute all the intricate details that elevate your worktop or surface. From perfectly formed bowl cut-outs and practical drainer grooves to elegant recessed drainer areas, a variety of edge profiles, and even highly bespoke edge work, our CNC machines ensure unparalleled accuracy and consistency for your project.
Once the CNC machining is complete, the shaped material progresses to our edge polishing machine, where skilled technicians carefully smooth and curve the edges to a flawless finish. However, it is the subsequent stage that truly distinguishes Mayflower Stone in Plymouth: meticulous hand finishing. This crucial step, often overlooked by other stone fabricators, allows our experienced craftsmen to perfect both internal and external corners with an accuracy and finesse that no machine alone can achieve. It's this dedication to the human touch that ensures every Mayflower Stone creation is not just a surface, but a testament to exceptional artistry and enduring quality for your home or business.
