High-Speed Cutting with the JAVELIN

The JAVELIN CNC Sawjet has become a centerpiece of production at Counter Effects. “It’s a beast,” says Roger Atherton. “It just cuts and cuts and cuts and it does a fantastic job.”

The JAVELIN at Counter Effects features a two-table configuration, with one table used as a slab loader and the other as a standard cutting table. This flexible setup allows the team to load and cut at the same time, reducing downtime and increasing efficiency.

“We can easily cut 30 slabs a day in an 8-hour period on the JAVELIN,” Roger says. “We even once cut 100 slabs in like 2 days. The machine is incredible.”

With speed, accuracy, and nonstop performance, the JAVELIN keeps their shop moving and their jobs on schedule.

Reliable Precision from the TITAN

Their side-by-side TITAN CNC Routers reduce manual labor and improve consistency across the board.

“The TITANs are so consistent with the cutouts, profiling, and polishing. You can’t get that with manual labor,” says Jolynn Atherton. “As good as your guys are at what they do, the TITANs’ speed, predictability, and ease is unmatched.”

Roger adds, “It’s nice to go out back and see all the kitchens stacked up on carts ready to go. It’s like alright, there’s some money sitting right there.”

Fast Finishing with the FASTBACK II

For edge polishing, the FASTBACK II Edge Polisher has proven to be an ideal solution. “Get one. It’ll pay for itself,” says Roger. “It’s the best investment a small shop can make.”

The FASTBACK II helps them finish edges quickly and consistently, freeing up labor for other areas of the shop.

“I am extremely happy with the FASTBACK II and the quality it produces,” Roger continues. “We’ve replaced two labor positions with just two hours of machine operation, saving us 14 labor hours per day. A helluva payback. We’re very happy with our investment.”

Clear slab imaging with the SLABVISION

The SlabVision Scanner has enhanced both layout precision and the customer experience.

“SlabVision has been a really good investment for us,” says Jolynn. “There’s nothing that gets past SlabVision. It captures everything.”

“We do one-on-one design help for clients that are coming in working on kitchen remodels,” she explains. With SlabVision, the team can show clients exactly what their layout will look like before any cutting begins, cutting the customer approval process in half and speeding up production.

Smarter Water Use with the HYDROCLEAR PRO

The HydroClear PRO water system has helped reduce operating costs and improve sustainability.

“We were spending 1,200 to 1,400 dollars a month on water running through our operation,” says Jolynn. “That has now reduced down to like 200 to 300 dollars a month. The HydroClear PRO gets the water so much better that you can use that in so many other ways.”

A True Partnership with Park Industries®

For Roger and Jolynn, working with Park Industries® means more than just reliable equipment.

“Park really had the service down,” says Roger. “It wasn’t like, OK, I’ll get back to you tomorrow. Their sense of urgency met our sense of urgency.”

Jolynn adds, “If we needed a part overnighted or we needed something, they took care of that. The fact that it’s made in America, everything’s local, Park is the only one that we would choose.”

“If you’re looking for a significant return on your investment with minimal downtime to get you up and running and a support network that is gonna take you and continue with you through years and years after the sale, Park Industries® is your solid choice,” she says.

Roger agrees. “It’s more than just a supplier of equipment to Counter Effects. It’s a true partnership.”
