A 3-axis CNC router is a crucial piece of equipment for stone fabricators looking to reduce labor and increase quality in their stone fabrication shop. These routers offer precise control over shaping sinks and other non-linear shaping, edge profiling for customer edge details, and polishing, making it easy to create intricate designs and custom stone countertops.

With the ability to automate complex tasks such as sink cutouts, radii, edge profiling, and edge polishing, 3-axis CNC routers significantly reduce manual labor while increasing accuracy and consistency. This not only boosts production efficiency but also helps minimize errors, making it an essential tool for any stone fabrication business aiming to streamline operations and reduce costs.

Why Should a Fabricator Consider a 3-Axis CNC Router?

A stone fabricator would benefit greatly from adding a 3-axis CNC router to their stone fabrication business due to its ability to streamline production, reduce labor, and improve accuracy. These routers can automate complex tasks such as sink cutouts, edge profiling, and custom shaping, which would otherwise require significant manual labor. By using a 3-axis CNC router, fabricators can achieve faster turnaround times, reduce human error, and produce consistent, high-quality finishes. This not only increases efficiency but also reduces material waste and overall production costs, making it an essential investment for any stone fabrication shop looking to grow and stay competitive.

Paladin Features

BACA's Paladin router in a stone processing facility

The Paladin is a powerful and versatile 3-axis high-rail gantry stone milling machine designed for large-scale stone fabrication. Featuring an open-format design and available in two table sizes—8’ x 14’ or 8’ x 16’—this system is built for optimal performance in stone milling applications. Its wash-down design makes maintenance easy, while the heavy-duty table allows you to handle a wide range of materials with ease.


For rapid and effective polishing, the Paladin stands out as the top choice. Its robust build enables fabricators to load materials like countertops, vanities, and various other surfaces and leave the machine to work independently. With its precision and reliability, the Paladin delivers high-quality finishes, saving both time and labor in the stone fabrication process. This makes it an essential investment for any stone fabricator looking to improve productivity and results.
