Automatic Granite Countertop Edge Polisher

The "Edgematic" automatic granite countertop edge polisher from Elberton Tool Company, Inc. and Rice Industrial Electric incorporates all the features needed by high volume granite countertop fabricators to quickly and efficiently grind a standard corner edge and polish the edges of granite kitchen countertops or bath vanities. The Edgematic countertop edge polishing machine has a 12’ x 8’ air roller ball work table used to polish and grind standard edges on large countertop pieces. The operator can lift the slab off the table using the hydraulic roller ball system and move the largest slabs almost effortlessly. In addition, up to 36’ of splash can be polished automatically.

The granite countertop machine is easy to operate and maintain, and can be used for granite countertops, quartz countertops or other solid surface countertop materials. The Edgematic uses standard 4” snail lock pads and, features rugged steel construction, a 2 HP motor, electronic controls, and an “airball” roller table that allows the operator to turn even the heaviest granite slabs with one hand. Users of Edgematic granite countertop grinding and polishing machine report production increases up to 60%!

Core Drill Machines


The ETC12 Automatic Core Drill from Elberton Tool Company, Inc. and Rice Industrial Electric is a heavy duty electronic core drilling machine used primarily for granite core drilling, but can be used for any core drill operation. The ETC12 core drill automatically drills cores up to 12” in diameter and 48” deep with a single setting. The ETC12 is a rotary core drilling machine intended for stationary facility use where extra large concrete, granite or other stone drilling operations that require higher production rates than standard duty or portable core drilling machines can handle. The ETC12 is easy to operate and maintain, and can be used for granite monument fabrication or any other heavy duty drilling operation. The ET12 features rugged steel construction, a 20 H.P. motor, and electronic controls.
