Anchor Machines – Description
General
What It’s Used For
Anchor machines are mainly used in the stone and construction industries to prepare stone slabs for safe installation. For example, when installing countertops, vanity tops, or wall panels, anchor bolts need to be inserted into the stone. The anchor machine creates the precise grooves needed to fit those bolts securely. This ensures that the stone is firmly attached to the structure behind it.
Why Use It
Using an anchor machine helps workers make clean, consistent cuts quickly and safely. It improves the accuracy of the installation, reduces the risk of cracks or mistakes, and speeds up the work process. Whether powered by electricity or air (pneumatic), anchor machines are a reliable tool for professionals who need secure, long-lasting stone installations.
The Aardwolf Anchor Machines are compact, high-precision tools designed to cut T-slots for anchor bolts in stone surfaces, such as vanity tops or architectural panels. Both models feature a dual vacuum zone base for secure grip near slab edges and support 6mm (1/4”) T-type diamond bits.
The EAM (Electric Anchor Machine) is equipped with a 750W electric motor, offering consistent performance with minimal setup.
The APAM (Pneumatic Anchor Machine) uses compressed air, making it ideal for job sites without electrical access.
Both machines deliver clean, repeatable cuts and feature detachable water hoses, integrated indicators, and robust aluminum construction.
