The TEMPEST – One Year Later

It has been a whole year since we launched the TEMPEST blade into workshops across the country and 760 blades later the TEMPEST has quickly become a Fabricators Favourite.

The 26mm, arranged diamond segments have ensured that our customers can cut through engineered stone in 2-3m/min and granite in 2m/min.

However, it is not just speed that has been impressing fabricators, our TEMPEST blade stands the test of time lasting 3 times longer than most blades on the market.

The secret behind the blade is 9 layers of arranged diamond, with each diamond positioned for maximum performance. This means that thanks to the technology behind the TEMPEST blade, you can always be certain that you are getting an amazing Stonegate cut.

Once you have tried the TEMPEST blade, other blades will simply not cut it in your workshop – pun intended! We have found that after their first TEMPEST order our customers are well and truly converted. Don’t just take our word for it, hear from the fabricators themselves as to why the TEMPEST is the blade for them.

Jimmy from C&J Stonemasonry in Goole, East Yorkshire is thrilled with his TEMPEST blade.

“We have seen an increase in production since changing to the new TEMPEST blade.” The faster cutting speeds ensure our customers can get more worktops cut and out the door than ever before.

James Murray from Cork Quartz is very happy to sing the praises of Stonegate’s TEMPEST blade. “Best blade I have ever used on Quartz!! Very fast and accurate.” With a speed of 2-3m/min on Quartz, we are not surprised that fabricators of quartz are seeing great results.

After a recent visit to The Marble Group to film a case study, factory manager Lucian had this to say about out blade; “It’s a very good blade. We can cut at high speeds and makes production faster, we are very happy with it.”

So, one year after the TEMPEST launch what have we learnt?

Firstly we have discovered just how important not only speed but longevity is to our customers.

Our second most popular feedback comment, after the quality of cut, is how long the blade has lasted, it really does just keep on going.

Secondly, we have learnt how important it is to keep on innovating new products so that our customers are always ahead of the game.

Finally, we have recognised how important it is to keep improving so that we are always providing the best service, with the best products so that you can achieve the best results.
