Description
All-in-One Manual Working Center for Stone Countertop Fabrication
The Achilli TOP is a multipurpose manual working center that consolidates sink cut-outs, edge shaping, contour polishing, drilling, and recess drain work into a single machine — without moving the slab between operations. For small and mid-size fabrication shops, it delivers CNC-level versatility at manual machine investment levels.
The head travels on stainless steel guides with adjustable mechanical limit switches. Spindle movement along the Y and Z axes is controlled manually with micrometric hand wheels — precise enough for repeatable edge profiles and sink cut-outs, simple enough that operators don't need CNC programming experience. Single-phase 230V power means no 3-phase electrical infrastructure required.
If your shop is doing countertop work across multiple machines and losing time repositioning slabs between operations, the TOP consolidates that workflow into one station.
Key Features & Benefits
Complete Countertop Fabrication on One Machine
Sink cut-outs, internal and external contour shaping, edge polishing, drilling, and recess drains — all performed without repositioning the slab. Fewer moves means fewer handling risks and faster throughput per piece.
CNC-Level Results Without CNC Complexity
Micrometric hand wheel control on Y and Z axes delivers repeatable precision without programming. Operators can produce consistent profiles and cut-outs with minimal training time.
Stainless Steel Guide Head Travel
Head motion runs on stainless steel guides and wheels with adjustable mechanical limit switches — smooth, controlled travel with defined end stops for repeatable positioning.
Compatible with Shaped Wheels and CNC Tools
Accepts shaped profile wheels (up to 4" height, 4.75" diameter) and CNC tools for manual routers — works with the tooling your shop already uses for edge profiling.
Single-Phase 230V Power
No 3-phase electrical infrastructure required. Runs on standard single-phase supply, making it practical for shops that can't support 3-phase equipment.
Galvanized Steel Frame and Worktop
Built for long-term durability and rigidity in wet fabrication environments. The galvanized construction resists corrosion from continuous water use during cutting and polishing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What operations can the TOP perform?
Sink cut-outs, internal and external contour shaping, edge profiling and polishing, drilling, and recess drain fabrication — all on one machine without repositioning the slab.
Does it require 3-phase power?
No. The TOP runs on 230V single-phase, 50/60 Hz — no 3-phase electrical infrastructure required.
How precise is the manual control?
Y and Z axis spindle movement is controlled with micrometric hand wheels, providing repeatable precision for consistent edge profiles and cut-outs without CNC programming.
What tooling is it compatible with?
Shaped profile wheels (up to 100 mm height, 120 mm diameter), CNC tools for manual routers, core drill bits up to 80 mm, and polishing pads up to 115 mm diameter.
Can it cut as well as shape and polish?
Yes, with the optional Disc Holder accessory — it rotates the head in four positions and mounts diamond blades up to 200 mm (8") for cutting and mitering along the X and Y axes.
Is it suitable for a small shop?
Yes. The TOP is specifically designed for small and growing fabrication shops that want to reduce production time and equipment investment by consolidating multiple operations into one machine.
