Ask a technical question

If a reference does not answer your case, send the conditions and we will answer against them — not with a generic reply.

  • Material / stone type
  • Dimensions to cut
  • Production target
  • Machine and power available
  • Working conditions
  • Budget and delivery

Request specifications

Include the material, the dimensions and the machine power — it lets us answer with numbers instead of a catalogue page.
