I know what you mean Jazzcnc water and silt everywhere thats why you really need to cover the tool and motor with some stiff cloth or brushes just to keep the spray to a minimum and that silt gets everywhere believe me .
Purpose built stone machines do a really tidy job but I think they are out of my price range and the tooling is expensive. Two years ago I went to the Stone show in London at the exel centre and was quoted £30,0000 for a basic model .
Small scale to start with and build from there is my plan.
I wonder if anyone lost any money dealing with this company ???

Am going to go through the posts and read up on all the gripes with Strike
