⚡ 20 minutes by hand. 2 minutes on the Straight 8. More throughput. Less labor. On the same machine already polishing your straight edges. That's the difference Matt at Hard Rock Stone Works is seeing on leathered and textured finishes. A 90" piece used to take one of his guys 20 to 25 minutes to leather by hand with brushes on a pneumatic polisher. Now his crew swaps the brushes onto the Straight 8 using the magnetic quick change and runs the part through in about two minutes. We asked him the question every fabricator asks: does the texture actually match a factory-leathered slab? His answer — "Match is perfect." Thanks to Matt for sharing this one with the industry. 👊 See the Straight 8 → https://lnkd.in/eWQP8Grt #StoneFabrication #Countertops #Granite #Quartz #LeatheredFinish #Fabricator #Manufacturing #Automation #BACASystems

🚀 Zero to production in under 4 weeks!! Thanks for the shout out Blasius Countertops!"Your team—Bryan, Matt, Travis, and Allen—have been absolutely fantastic to work with on this install. I can't thank you all enough. Everything went incredibly smoothly, and we even got to cut a couple of production slabs today, which was a cool surprise. It's refreshing to take on a major project like this and have another company come in, match the energy, and get the job done. I'm excited to have some BACA orange in this shop. Your team represents your company exceptionally well, and it's obvious they take pride in what they do. One of our first test slabs was a 1/4" quartz slab processed into 30" circles, and it was completed in 16 minutes. That's five times faster than what we're used to—a massive improvement for a product that has historically been a bottleneck for us. We have five more slabs with similar layouts on this project alone, and it's a recurring product line for us. Thanks again for the partnership and for sending such a great team."

That's a lot of thumbs up for one machine. Real Deal Countertops, based in Summerville, SC, just added a BACA M Series Robo SawJet to their shop. For a team that's served over 30,000 customers and built their reputation on precision fabrication, this is the next step in a process they've been building for over two decades. Congratulatons to everyone at Real Deal on the new install. #StoneFabrication #CountertopFabrication #RoboticAutomation #MachineInstall

🇺🇸 250 years ago, a nation bet on a simple idea: that hard work and a dream could build toward something greater. Today, behind every countertop, a craftsman is still proving that dream to be true. The BACA team is proud to be a part of that American Dream, and we salute the entrepreneurs, the fabricators, and the family shops living it one precise cut at a time. ⚡️ Your craft, your grit, your legacy — that's the Dream, alive and well. From all of us at BACA Systems, have a safe and happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸🎉 #BACASystems #july4th #America250 #fabricationindustry #stoneautomation #independenceday2026 #InstallingProfitability

In 2022, The One made their first move into digital fabrication with a BACA Robo SawJet 2.0, replacing a fully manual bridge saw process. That decision changed how their shop operated. Today, they're expanding again. This time adding a single table M Series specifically for custom miter fabrication, a capability that reflects how much their business has grown since that first investment. Going from a manual bridge saw to two BACA systems isn't just a technology upgrade. It's a different kind of shop. Congratulations to the team at The One on the new install. #StoneFabrication #CountertopFabrication #RoboticAutomation

Integrated guarding on the M Series 240 helps keep operators safely separated from cutting spray and debris, while auto start keeps production moving. Load at one station, cut at the other, and let the cell switch automatically for a cleaner, safer workflow that supports higher uptime and consistent throughput in stone and countertop fabrication.
