Sink and cooktop cutouts in stone countertops require controlled plunge cuts with chip-free blade selection.
Stone fabrication shops cut sink and cooktop openings in granite, quartzite, and marble countertops using angle grinders and CNC routers. Protec Tools diamond blades deliver clean radius cuts and straight sides when matched to material hardness and wet cutting setup.
Blade Selection
- Continuous or fine turbo rim for visible cutout edge quality.
- Medium bond for granite; softer bond for marble and limestone.
- Small diameter blades for tight radius corners on undermount sinks.
Fabrication Steps
- Template cutout on slab and drill corner relief holes before plunge cuts.
- Cut wet to control heat and silica dust in the shop.
- Polish cutout edges before installation at the job site.
Protec Tools supports fabrication shops with blades for manual and CNC cutout workflows.
