This is cool I work at MKS. The saw you guys are showing is our block saw. It's blade is 11 1/2 diamater. Instead of replaceing the blade all the time we retip them with a diamound segments. This saw will cut several blacks in a 10hr shift. Kinda cool to see the place that I work at on youtube ty guys for showing this video.
From what I found out from my boss he said that it depends on the building you are puting it in and the type of stone but anywhere from $250,000 to $500,000
oh and the stone is granite, not marble. i think marble is 'softer' and easier to cut, the machines ive seen are cheaper for marble... dunno if thats just a coincidence or common trend though

Defenetly beats how the egypticians used to do it!
Mind you, the tough jobs today, we either get a mexican or a chinese to do it!
It all depends which continent you live in?
