(Later modifications brought the wire count to 58 for Granisa). Current production models from the company include single-wire saws and MDW saws with up to 70 wires (the Gold 70).

Bideseimpianti also offers a stone-panel cutter for 2cm-10cm slabs (the Razor Stone), plus the Elite line of CNC milling machines.

The announcement from Breton also noted that, “The Bidese brothers shall keep giving professional and working support both on the wire machines as well as on the diamond-wire compartment.”
