The HTQ700GL 5-axis CNC bridge saw is designed for stone processors that need more flexibility than a conventional straight-cutting setup. With CNC control, CAD import programming, adjustable cutting-head movement and a heavy-duty welded structure, the machine supports a range of stone-cutting and shaping applications.
What Can the HTQ700GL 5-Axis CNC Bridge Saw Do?
Not every stone project has a rectangular outline. Kitchen countertops, bathroom vanity tops, architectural components and decorative stone pieces may require angled edges, curved profiles or custom-shaped parts.
The HTQ700GL supports a variety of cutting and profiling operations, including:
- Straight and angled cutting: Process stone slabs and cut parts at suitable angles.
- Custom-shaped cutting: Produce round, oval, fan-shaped, polygonal, diamond-shaped and other irregular forms.
- Curved profiling: Follow straight and curved contours for suitable decorative stone components.
- Groove cutting: Create straight, angled and grid-style grooves for appropriate applications.
- Beveling and edge shaping: Use adjustable cutting-head movement to meet different design requirements.
The machine specification lists C-axis rotation from 0 to 360 degrees and A-axis movement from 0 to 90 degrees. The worktable has a specified maximum tilt range of 0 to 85 degrees.
These movement ranges give fabricators more options when planning custom work. Actual processing capability depends on the material, workpiece dimensions, blade configuration, tooling and selected cutting method. For demanding or unusual jobs, ask the supplier to confirm the setup and arrange a sample cutting test.
Applications in Countertop and Stone Fabrication
Kitchen and Bathroom Countertops
Countertop production often involves more than sizing a slab. Depending on the design, a job may require angled edges, sink openings, faucet holes or drainage grooves.
The HTQ700GL supports cutting and profiling operations. With the optional milling-cutter attachment and appropriate tooling, the machine can also be configured for additional machining tasks, including milling sink and faucet openings, drainage grooves and countertop edges. Polishing requires suitable grinding wheels and tooling.
For workshops that process both standard countertops and custom designs, this configuration may help bring several suitable operations onto one machine. Confirm the optional equipment and required tooling before ordering.
Granite and Marble Processing
Granite and marble workshops often handle products with different thicknesses, outlines and finishing requirements. The HTQ700GL is suitable for evaluating applications such as shaped stone components, angled cuts and decorative profiles.
The specified blade diameter range is 350 to 700 mm. Maximum blade diameter should not be treated as maximum cutting depth. The achievable cutting depth and recommended working conditions depend on the machine configuration, selected blade and material.
Tile and Engineered Stone
Large-format tiles and engineered stone products may require planned cutting paths and specific edge treatments. The HTQ700GL uses CNC control and CAD import programming to support programmed operations for suitable materials and part designs.
Before processing unfamiliar materials, confirm blade compatibility, workpiece support, feed settings and the required finished-edge quality with the supplier.
CAD Import Programming and CNC Operation
Programming is an important consideration when a stone workshop handles different part shapes and customer drawings. A machine with extensive movement capability is most useful when operators can prepare the required cutting paths in a repeatable way.
The HTQ700GL uses CNC control and CAD import programming. Its product documentation describes a touchscreen interface designed to simplify operation and a system that can generate graphics from entered data.
A typical workflow involves preparing the drawing, importing compatible CAD data, checking the processing requirements, setting up the material and tooling, and verifying the job before automatic processing begins.
This approach is relevant to workshops that regularly receive customized drawings or repeat the production of similar parts. Before purchasing the HTQ700GL 5-axis CNC bridge saw, confirm the supported CAD file formats, software requirements and operator training arrangements.
Heavy-Duty Structure and Motion Components
Machine construction is another factor to consider when choosing equipment for regular production. The HTQ700GL uses an integral rigid welded structure. Its documented motion components include linear rails, ball screws, helical gearing, high-precision planetary reducers and a servo system.
The machine has a specified 22 kW main motor and a speed range of 0 to 6,000 rpm. Total installed machine power is listed as 33 kW.
These specifications provide a useful starting point for comparing equipment. However, cutting speed, finished-edge quality and production output depend on factors such as the selected blade, material characteristics, cutting depth, feed settings and operator setup.

Is the HTQ700GL Right for Your Workshop?
The right machine depends on the jobs your customers actually order. A workshop focused on rectangular slab sizing may have different requirements from one that regularly makes customized countertop parts or irregular stone profiles.
The HTQ700GL may be worth considering if your shop:
- Processes angled cuts, curved contours or custom-shaped stone parts.
- Needs CNC control and CAD import programming for drawing-based work.
- Works with granite, marble, engineered stone, tile or other compatible building materials.
- Wants to evaluate optional milling operations for suitable countertop applications.
- Has the floor space and electrical capacity required for the machine.
Before making a purchasing decision, prepare several representative drawings. Include a standard cutting job, an angled cut and an irregular profile. Ask the supplier to confirm the appropriate configuration, tooling and processing method for each job.
What to Check Before Requesting a Quote
Material and Thickness
Identify the materials you process most often and provide both typical and maximum workpiece thicknesses. Different materials may require different blades and working conditions.
Part Dimensions and Cutting Requirements
Share the usual length, width, thickness, required angles and profile details. This helps the supplier assess whether the machine's travel and proposed configuration are suitable.
Tooling and Optional Functions
Specify whether your jobs need straight cutting, angled cutting, custom profiles, grooves, milling or polishing. Confirm which functions require optional equipment rather than assuming every operation is included in the standard configuration.
Software and Factory Conditions
Provide representative CAD drawings and confirm compatible file formats. Also check machine access, available installation space, electrical requirements and maintenance clearance.
After-Sales Support
Ask about installation guidance, operator training, spare parts, maintenance documentation and technical support. These details should be reviewed alongside the machine specifications and purchase price.
