 Stone and E-Stone Training
When you come to AZ School of Rock, you’ll learn how to Fabricate Stone with our Staff instructors guiding you each day you are in the shop. Where you’ll be training is an Actual Granite Fabrication Shop—not a training lab that only operates when there’s students to teach. We are a REAL FABRICATION SHOP.
We Teach Sawing techniques using:
TRACK STAR RAIL SAW
STANDARD BRIDGE SAW
OMAX WATER JET
We Teach Handling techniques using:
GORBEL JIB CRANE
MANZELLI VACUUM LIFTER
We Teach 2CM & 3CM lamination techniques
We Teach Hand Chiseling Techniques using:
TROW & HOLDEN CHISELS & PNEUMATICS
We Teach Sink Openings & Trick Edges
We have Basic, Intermediate & Advanced Courses for ALL SKILL LEVELS
NEW - "Training on Location" where I go to a client's shop instead of them sending half a dozen guys to phoenix - This saves them a lot of money, and we give the same quality training, but more of a "personalized" touch since it's more of a one-on-one thing.
