The first tile cutter was designed to facilitate the work and solve the problems that masons had when cutting a mosaic of encaustic tiles (a type of decorative tile with pigment, highly used in 1950s, due to the high strength needed because of the high hardness and thickness of these tiles).
As such, 5-axis cutting opens up a wide range of applications that can be machined on a water jet cutting machine. A 5-axis cutting head can be used to cut 4-axis parts, where the bottom surface geometries are shifted a certain amount to produce the appropriate angle and the Z-axis remains at one height.
Engineered marble is typically used as flooring materials for large commercial projects such as hotels, shopping centers, business lobbies, where it combines the attractive appearance of marble with budget-friendly cost and reliable delivery time. Quartz is a much harder material.
Bretonstone, also known as vibro-compression under vacuum, is a formerly-patented technology [2] [3] invented in the early-1970s [citation needed] by Breton S.p.A. [4]Nowadays most manufacturers of engineered stone use similar technology, typically involving quartz and a resin binder combined under vacuum, and compressed under heat into a desired form such as a countertop slab.
Vericut was designed by CGTech Inc. in 1988. [4] The software was first developed to run in Unix workstations and was later ported to Windows. [4] Since its initial launch, Vericut has been installed and is used by Fortune 500 and other notable companies including Boeing, [4] Airbus, [4] General Motors, [4] and Israel Aircraft Industries [5] As of 2009, Vericut has been used by more than 2000 ...

It was founded as the Granite Cutters' National Union and later Granite Cutters' International Union of the United States and the British Provinces of America before taking its final name in 1905. Jobs for skilled granite cutters dwindled in the 1960s and the union eventually merged into the Tile, Marble, Terrazzo, Finishers', Shopworkers' and ...
