The machine can handle countertops of any size up to 50 feet. We then use that template to program our state-of-the-art CNC Machines.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2902\" src=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/granite-selection-use.jpg\" alt=\"granite-selection-use\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>CNC<\/strong> Machining<\/h2>\n<p>CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control and has been around since the early 1970&#8217;s. While people in most walks of life have never heard of this term, CNC has touched almost every form of the manufacturing process in one way or another.<\/p>\n<p>Using the LT-55 Lasers templates, we cut your granite to those precise measurements using our CNC Machines. This process is more precise than manual machining and can produce complex shapes that would be almost impossible to achieve with manual machining. Using this technology, we are able to provide invisible seams and perfect cutouts for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/specials\/sinks\/\">sinks<\/a>\u00a0and other appliances.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2903\" src=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/use_it_.jpg\" alt=\"use_it_\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Customer<strong> Benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>These machines mean that, when you partner with Granite Selection, there is no need for additional cutting or sanding of the stone on site. That equals to faster, cleaner and more precise\u00a0installation countertops.<\/p>\n<p>Other countertop companies bring\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/granite-countertops\/\">granite slabs<\/a>\u00a0to your home with only the larger cuts made. They then hand measure and cut the stone for appliances and fixtures. This can result in gaps between the stone and the sink or wall and\/or undesired edging to try and get the stone to fit.<\/p>\n<style>.blog-cta{width:100%;overflow:hidden;background:none}img.blog-cta__img{position:absolute;z-index:-1;object-fit:cover;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%}<\/style><div class=\"blog-cta blog-cta--layout disabled-focus\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"background image\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"blog-cta__img\" src=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/caledonia-granite.jpg\" \/><button class=\"blog-cta__close\"><span class=\"fa fa-times\"><\/span><\/button><div class=\"blog-cta-grid\"><div class=\"blog-cta-grid__col\"><p>\nCountertops don&#8217;t only have to be seamless, they also have to look awesome.
