Which CNC machine to choose between a bridge saw and a machining centre?

The answer is both of them! These machines are complementary and are the perfect equipment for countertops and monuments. The 5-axis bridge saw allows you to cut your natural stone, quartz or ceramic pieces in any directions and the machining centre a complete finishing with milling, drilling, roughing, shaping and polishing … It is the ideal investment that will help you develop your sales!

These machines, designed and assembled by the THIBAUT company, based in France and represented in more than 70 countries, are the result of 60 years of innovation! For many years, THIBAUT has developed unrivalled experience in the field of numerically controlled machine tools, starting in the 1950s with polishing, which is the most delicate operation to be carried out on the stone.
