“In early 2016, we obtained two Champion Plus 700s to aid in carving the stone. At the time, we were looking into used machines, since again, our budget was tight. However, Mario offered us an unbeatable price on two new machines with full three-year warranties. These extra machines have been indispensable in continuing the fabrication of stone for our monastery.” «CNC machines are significantly faster than hand carving. They also allow us to carve incredible three-dimensional pieces. Since all of the design is done in a computer in advance, you can tweak and change the design over and over again until it is perfect — before you ever place the piece on the CNC.»
