Bridge saw for stone, marble and granite cutting
To choose the right bridge saw there are four elements to have a look
-The cutting head
-The structure (bridge…)
-The cutting table
-The machine management

1/The cutting group ( Disk, motorization, positioning..)
The first point to decide is the disk diameter you need depending the maximum thickness you have to cut.
The motor power for the cutting disk will decide the cutting speed and the kind of stone you have to cut.
The axes number (X, Y and Z and also C to drive the disk position), and the possibility to tilt the disk.
The bridge saw disk must have two different rotation speed (one for soft material, one for hard material, marble or granite) or a variable rotation speed (inverter), allowing the cutting whatever the material.
2/Bridge saw structure
Where the cutting head moves on X and Y axes. There is a central timber where is located the cutting group, moving on 2 perpendicular motorized guides. On the best bridge saws this central timber is in cast iron.
The central timber can be installed on its own metallic structure (compact bridge stone) or on two walls. The compact bridge saw is a good solution to move the machine inside the workshop, but the solutions with walls is better if you need to cut high stone thicknesses
