How to Cut Quartz Surfaces & Polish Them

Yes, quartz slabs can be cut using diamond-tipped blades on a bridge saw. The Avalanche Pro series is designed specifically to handle full-size quartz, granite, and marble slabs. With a cutting length of up to 150 inches and a 20 HP blade motor, it handles engineered and natural stone slabs efficiently in fabrication shop environments.

A bridge saw fitted with a diamond-segment blade is the industry-standard tool for cutting quartz. Crown Stone USA's Avalanche Pro bridge saws offer manual and automatic cutting modes, hydraulic lift, air indexing to 90° and 45°, and a 20 HP motor — making them well-suited for straight cuts, miter cuts, and complex profiles in quartz and other hard stone.

Manual mode gives the operator direct control over each cut, ideal for custom or one-off pieces. Automatic mode uses remote control operation to execute repeated, consistent cuts with minimal effort — significantly improving throughput in high-volume fabrication shops. The Avalanche Pro Manual + Automatic Bridge Saw supports both modes, offering flexibility for varied shop workflows.

Plunge-miter cutting allows the blade to enter the stone at an angled position, enabling complex edge profiles and mitered joints without repositioning the slab multiple times. The Avalanche Pro Bridge Saw is one of the first USA-made bridge saws to offer this capability, making it valuable for countertop fabricators producing detailed stonework and decorative edges.

Regular maintenance includes checking the pressurized water supply system, inspecting diamond blades for wear, and ensuring the hydraulic lift and air brake systems are functioning correctly. Crown Stone's Avalanche Pro uses brushless AC motors and stainless steel rolling surfaces to minimize maintenance demands. Parts are sourced domestically for quick, easy replacement when service is needed.

The Avalanche Pro Manual + Automatic Bridge Saw supports both single-phase and three-phase power. Single-phase operation requires 208–240V at 100 amps, while three-phase runs at 208–240V at 60 amps. It also requires a compressed air supply of 80–120 PSI for the air brake and air indexing functions. Always verify your shop's electrical capacity before installation.
