Machine of the Month: April 2009
The Luna 540 is the latest model of edge polisher from Montresor, available from Salem Stone. This innovative small-sized bullnose machine is the product of years of experience and research, culminating in a machine that offers as much versatility and performance as the larger Luna 740, the company reports. This versatile polisher is capable of processing backsplashes as well as conference room tables. At the heart of the Luna 540 is Montresor’s unique polishing head rotation system. According to Salem, this forward-thinking design has greatly simplified this typically complicated area by eliminating the majority of expensive moving parts.
