<p>An integrated system (10) for fabricating a countertop (12,112) from a slab (14,114), comprising: a saw (24) for cutting an apron strip (26,126) of a predetermined size from a slab (14,114); an adhesive station (32.132) where adhesive is applied prior to bonding the apron strip (26,126) to the slab (14,114); a translating device (36) for translating the apron strip (26,126) for positioning along an edge of the slab (14,114); a press (40) securely holding the apron strip (26,126) and the slab (14,114) while the adhesive forms a secure bond between the apron strip (26,126) and the slab (14,114). <IMAGE></p> |
