What to Look for When Buying a Used Intermac
Intermac machines are purpose-built for stone and glass fabrication, processing abrasive materials in wet environments. Italian engineering delivers excellent build quality, but the operating conditions demand careful inspection on used units.
Inspect the spindle and tool changer. Master series machines use high-power spindles with ISO 50 or ISO 40 tool interfaces. Test spindle runout and listen for bearing noise across the RPM range. Cycle the tool changer through every pocket. On 5-axis models, confirm the tilting axis and C-axis rotate freely without backlash.
Evaluate the work table and vacuum system. Intermac CNC routers use vacuum suction cups to hold stone and glass during machining. Check every cup for seal integrity. Inspect the vacuum pump for consistent pressure. On Vertmax vertical centers, verify the suction cup carriage travels smoothly across the full sheet size.
Check the water management and guideways. Stone and glass machines run with continuous water flow for cooling and dust suppression. Inspect linear guides, ballscrews, and way covers for corrosion or abrasive wear from stone slurry. Verify the water filtration and recirculation system functions properly.
Confirm the software and control platform. Intermac machines run proprietary software with parametric programming. Verify the control PC boots cleanly and CAD/CAM integration (EasySTONE or equivalent) is licensed and functional.
Intermac Master Series CNC Work Centers
Master ONE, Master 23 & Master 30
The Master ONE is Intermac's compact 3/4-axis CNC machining center for stone and glass, designed for countertop shops. It delivers milling, drilling, profiling, and edge finishing with fast axis speeds. The Master 23 is the most compact work center in the range, while the Master 30 extends table capacity for larger workpieces.
Master 33, 35, 38 & 45 (5-Axis)
The mid-range and large Master models offer full 5-axis interpolation with unlimited C-axis rotation and a tilting head. The Master 33 and Master 38 handle standard slab sizes for countertop and architectural work. The Master 35 is Intermac's most advanced 5-axis glass platform. The Master 45 expands the work envelope for larger pieces. All support automatic tool changing and integrated CAD/CAM programming.
Master 63, 65, 625 & 850
The large-format Master models serve fabricators working without dimensional limits. The Master 63 and Master 65 provide extended X-axis travel for oversized panels. The Master 625 (Fab Center) combines 5-axis bridge saw cutting with full CNC machining in a single machine, featuring two work tables for uninterrupted production.
Intermac Vertmax Vertical Machining Centers
The Vertmax series processes glass sheets vertically, reducing floor space compared to horizontal centers. The Vertmax handles drilling, milling, grinding, polishing, and edge work on glass up to large formats. The vertical design pairs with V-Loader automated loaders and Aqua series washing lines for complete processing cells.
Intermac Genius Cutting Tables
The Genius series provides CNC float glass cutting with precision scoring, automatic breakout, and optional label printing. The Genius RS-A is the entry-level model. The Genius CT-A and CT-Red add automatic tool changing. Available from the Genius 37 through the Genius 61, these tables are among the most traded Intermac machines on the used market.
Intermac Primus Waterjet & Smart Bridge Saws
The Primus waterjet cuts glass, stone, metal, and composites using water pressure up to 60,000 PSI with abrasive garnet. Models include the Primus 184, 322, and 402. The Smart 625 is Intermac's 5-axis CNC bridge saw for cutting and shaping marble, granite, engineered stone, and ceramics.

Frequently Asked Questions About Used Intermac Machines
Are used Intermac machines reliable?
Yes. Intermac machines are built in Italy by the Biesse Group, which invests heavily in R&D and quality manufacturing. The Master series has a proven track record spanning over three decades. Biesse's North American service team provides parts and support for current and legacy models.
What is the difference between Intermac and Biesse?
Intermac is a division within the Biesse Group. Biesse produces woodworking CNC machines, while Intermac focuses on glass, stone, and metal processing. Both share the same parent company, service network, and Charlotte, NC campus.
What should I inspect before buying a used Intermac?
Focus on spindle condition, vacuum system integrity, water management, and guideway wear. Stone and glass machines operate in wet, abrasive environments that accelerate wear on linear guides and ballscrews. Verify software licensing and cycle the tool changer through every position.
What Intermac models hold their value best?
Master series 5-axis CNC routers, Vertmax vertical centers, and Genius cutting tables hold strong resale values. Machines with current software and documented maintenance command premiums. Call (844) 478-8181 for current valuations.
What materials can Intermac machines process?
Intermac machines handle natural stone (marble, granite, travertine), engineered stone (quartz, Dekton, Neolith), ceramics, glass (float, laminated, tempered, armored), and select metals. The Primus waterjet adds capability for composites and plastics.
