Bigger Projects, Shorter Timelines: Inside the TITAN® 4700 CNC Stone Router A larger table, faster production, and the finish standard we’ve always held. When the Build Schedule Doesn’t Wait The most interesting stonework is usually the most demanding to produce. Waterfall islands, carved sinks, waterjet inlay, intricate edge profiles and tight radius work, stone furniture built as a single piece. Each one requires tolerances held across multiple components and hours of skilled attention. Done by hand, that work is achievable. It is also slow. Clients rarely scale back what they want, and they shouldn’t have to, so the pressure lands somewhere else: on the construction schedule. A general contractor has a date, the trades behind us have a date, and a fabrication process that moves one piece at a time can put every one of those dates at risk. The TITAN® 4700 changes that arithmetic. It runs the production work faster than the same work can be done by hand, which keeps the straightforward pieces moving and keeps our fabricators off them. Their hours go to the work that has to be done by hand, like assembling a custom fireplace mantel, rather than to parts the machine can finish more efficiently. The TITAN® 4700 CNC Stone Router at Connecticut Stone At Connecticut Stone, fabrication is more than a step in the process; it’s where the story takes shape. And the TITAN® 4700 is the tool that allows us to do more, faster, without sacrificing the craftsmanship at the heart of our work. What Sets the TITAN® 4700 Apart? 1. Space to Work at Scale The TITAN’s 8′ x 14’4″ table gives us room to work at full slab scale, and just as usefully, room to work on more than one piece at a time. A long island or a continuous run of countertop can be programmed and cut in a single setup. So can a batch of smaller parts. We can load six or eight vanity tops onto the table at once, run them as one program, and finish the group in the time a single-piece process would take for two or three. That loading strategy is what makes multi-bath and multi-unit work practical. Instead of cycling one part at a time, we fill the table, run it, and reload. For a project with twelve baths, that difference shows up directly in the delivery date. 2. Speed Without Sacrifices Automated tool changes, high-speed cutting, and optimized programming remove a large share of the manual labor from finishing. Park Industries rates the TITAN® 4700 at up to 90% less labor per part compared with hand finishing. For our clients, that shows up as shorter lead times and more predictable scheduling, without a compromise in finish quality. 3. Precision That Shows Laser positioning and integrated tool management mean each part is cut to the same tolerance as the one before it. Sink cutouts, radius corners, and sculpted edge profiles repeat exactly across a set, which matters when a kitchen has three separate pieces that need to read as one surface at the seams. 4. Milled Details That Are Difficult to Produce Some details are not about cutting a shape out of stone. They are about carving into it. This is where the TITAN does work that hand fabrication cannot match for consistency. Drainboards. Grooves milled directly into the countertop beside the sink, pitched so water runs back toward the basin. The channels are cut, shaped, and polished in the same program as the top, in the same material, with no applied insert or seam. Shower pans. A single slab milled to a consistent slope toward the drain, replacing a tiled base and its grout lines. The surface can be finished honed or leathered depending on the traction and look the project calls for. Recessed and dished sink surrounds. The scooped, gradually deepening area around an undermount basin, milled as a continuous curve rather than assembled from steps. The same approach produces integrated soap recesses and shaped ledges. Each of these is programmed, milled, and finished on the machine, then hand-checked and detailed by our fabricators before it leaves the shop. Why it Matters for Your Project The value of the TITAN® 4700 is capacity. Our fabricators have always produced to spec, and the machine lets them do it at a volume and pace that changes what a project can look like on paper. For architects and designers, that means a large specification stops being a scheduling risk. A project with twenty vanities, a run of matched countertops, and a set of milled shower pans can be batched and programmed rather than queued piece by piece. The scope you draw is the scope we can deliver on the timeline you have. For homeowners, it means the details that once added weeks to a job are now part of the normal production flow. The practical result across both is the same: more volume, shorter lead times, and a delivery date that holds when the rest of the build is depending on it. How the Work Gets Done The quality standard has not moved. What has changed is the schedule behind it. The TITAN® 4700 produces larger pieces, higher volumes, and complex profiles faster than the same work can be done by hand, and it holds the same tolerance across every part in a run. That shift freed our fabricators rather than replaced them. Production milling and polishing now runs on the machine, which means our craftsmen spend their hours on the work that has to be done by hand: assembly, fitting, and the one-off pieces that never repeat. An integrated trough sink built into a stone furniture piece is still shaped and finished by a person, because that is the only way it gets done right. If you have a project with volume, milled detail, or a tight delivery date, send us the drawings and we’ll tell you what’s possible on your timeline.
