    CNC for the images on granite and stone

    I am new to the forums, so I wanted to ask whether any of you made CNC engraver for marble, granite and stone. My goal is to create such a machine for images up to max. size of 300 x 300 mm, so if anyone has any ideas or plans to put them on this subject.:drowning::drowning::wee:

    I have using flying optics with 48 x 59 inch table, the first machine I purchase used a fixed laser on the X axis which the max safe speed was 700 inch per minute. The machine I built using steppers and belt drive on the X axis can go as high as 3000 inch per minute although I run it at 2100 inch per minute using a 100 watt coherent laser. It has been 3 years of work and I am very happy with what I am producing in images but for some reason I can't leave well enough alone and still adding and trying different optics. I use wincnc for motion control and smart raster.

    For that small of size you should either buy a small machine or use a galvo head in your project.

    Can you to say how this works, I heard that the real picture is almost identical to those that you see on your monitor, so I wonder whether something like that could do it. Unfortunately I do not have the ability to use laser, so I wanted to use diamond cutters for engraving, but we are the one system where a bunch of tiny dots creates the image does not like because it gives a realistic picture, looks more like it was cut from some old newspapers, and this system gives the image is identical to hand-engraved images, even as the shadow the same as in the photograph.

    It would be grateful If you have any image of your device to send me to see some plans or ideas, or how good it would do it and it works well.

    Come on people, it is not possible that no one has ever worked for the engraver marble and granite. Please if anyone has experience in how to answer me or send it to a private post some sort of assistance in order to start.
