 Machine Description

The Edgemate 100 is a portable, manual, single head c-arm type line polisher for shaping and polishing convex edges. For example, it can profile a bullnose, radius roundover, bevel and flat profiled edges.

The Edgemate 100 is made of impact resistant plastic, glass filled plastic, aluminum, stainless steel and brass. There are no ferrous metals except for the motor, track clamps and some inserts in the knobs. The Edgemate 100 was designed so that the machine would work for years in an abrasive fab-shop environment.

The Edgemate 100 gives the operator the ability to control how defined the transition line is between the face of the stone and the profiled edge.  It also has stops allowing the operator to under polish the stone and to ease the bottom edge to blend away any chip outs from the saw, without flipping the stone over.

Performance    

Setup of the Edgemate 100 for the first edge of a job will take less than 3 minutes. Each additional edge setup will take less than a minute.

The Edgemate 100 will shape and polish 8-10 feet of 3 cm bullnose in 60 minutes. This includes setup and under polishing the bottom of the stone, using a turbo cup wheel and eight polishing pads.

The Edgemate 100 will shape and polish 8-10 feet of 1/2" bevel in 40 minutes. This includes setup and easing the sharp edges.

The Edgemate 100 will shape and polish 8-10 feet of 1/8" eased edge in 50 minutes. This includes setup, easing the bottom edge and under polishing the stone. The edge is polished so flat that there is very little light distortion in the reflection.

Power Requirements

The Edgemate 100 uses 120 volts at 12 amps. The machine is GFCI protected with a magnetic switch to prevent motor start up when the current is restored.

Operator Skills

There is some training to understand the machine, but very little skill in running the machine. Most operators obtain a great edge within the second or third try. Because the machine moves down the track with very little effort, it is far less physical work than polishing by hand. The operator can run the machine with one hand. The spindle pressure is preloaded to 25 lbs and can be easily increased to 50+ lbs. The splash shield around the abrasive controls the air borne dust and protects the operator from stone debris and water. The operator should be able to stay mostly dry, except for their boots.

Another advantage of this machine is that it is easier to move the Edgemate 100 to a large stone than it is to load a large stone into a stationary machine. Operators can work alone and polish edges that are going to be seamed together. With a the Edgemate 100, you will get machine quality edges using standard polishing pads.
