INDEX: November 2014
Welcome to the November 2014 Issue of the Slippery Rock Gazette. This month we feature a company that been successful with a wide offering of stone products. Stone Spectrum LLC has grown to be a major player in the Indianapolis area, and are proof that quality work and high standards can outlast any recession. We also present two innovative products: the new Cinclips Undermount Sink Support System and the Talon Miter Cut, which that will help your overall productivity in producing mitered tops and aprons. Many of our readers have asked about the quality of stone imported from India. We return to our Stones of the World series, and deliver a report aided by Mahdav Marble and Granite, a very reputable company which has served the world stone market for two decades. Our industry consultants have some very pointed advice and wisdom to impart this month, and note the release of the MIA’s new Stone Industry Health and Safety Handbook.
