The EASY FLAT is based on our world renowned MITRE SAW, utilising a single polishing head instead of the 45 degree blade arrangement to flat polish only. A simple PLC program memorizes the number of times the head moves back and forth to enable the polishing. Each program represents a diamond, stone or polishing pad to be used. In most cases a three step process is sufficient to polish most engineered and natural stone available on the market.

The machine has pneumatic pop up rollers, for ease of loading and unloading operated by a simple flick of a lever. Also operated by a lever are five pneumatic clamping feet which are there to secure the job to the table. An outrigger roller table is there to support longer pieces, which can be manually moved along the whole working area of the machine and simply clipped on. The machine has a pneumatic front stop so the work piece is positioned in the exact place for the polishing to proceed, this can be lowered and raised with a button on the main control panel.

Water is fed down the centre of the polishing spindle via an electric solenoid that turns on and off with the spindle motor to reduce waste. The polishing heads can be quickly changed as the machine utilizes a 100mm snail lock coupling. All universal tooling using this form of coupling may be used and each individual stone or pad is programmable on the PLC for future reference. At FARNESE we feel that after the MITRE SAW this would be the next machine to prove invaluable in the modern work shop.
