Description
This premium DXF template is engineered for fabricating maximum-width 60-inch stone stair treads in substantial 3cm thickness with a refined beveled nosing profile. Combining exceptional span capability with architectural elegance, this template serves high-end residential, commercial, and institutional projects where durability and visual impact are paramount. The 3cm thickness provides superior structural performance for wide spans while accommodating the beveled edge profile without compromising material integrity. The 60-inch width represents the upper range of single-piece stair tread fabrication, offering generous tread depth for comfort, safety, and code compliance in high-traffic environments. At 3cm (1.181 inches) thick, these treads deliver the strength necessary for commercial applications, ADA-compliant installations, and situations where intermediate support may be limited. The beveled nosing creates a contemporary architectural statement while maintaining the practical benefits of proper drip edge and visual definition between tread and riser.

Installation Overview
Installation of 60-inch 3cm stone treads requires professional-grade techniques and adequate manpower due to the substantial weight (80-100+ lbs per tread depending on material). Prepare the substrate with level, structurally sound support across the full width. Use a full mortar bed or heavy-duty construction adhesive rated for the weight load. Due to the span and weight, temporary support bracing during adhesive cure is highly recommended. Verify level at multiple points across the 60-inch width using precision levels, as even minor deviations become magnified across this span. The nosing should project uniformly along the entire length; use a straightedge to verify consistent overhang before adhesive sets.
CNC Cutting Notes
Cutting 60-inch treads in 3cm material requires industrial CNC equipment with adequate bed length and robust vacuum or mechanical hold-down systems. The material mass and thickness demand reduced feed rates compared to lighter-duty templates, particularly when executing the beveled nose profile. Use appropriately sized diamond tooling (typically 3-4 inch diameter bits for profiling) with sufficient depth of cut capability. Water cooling is essential to manage heat buildup in such substantial material. Program tool paths to minimize vibration; the combination of length and thickness can amplify any resonance in the cutting process. Consider roughing passes followed by finish passes on the beveled profile for optimal edge quality.
Material Compatibility
This heavy-duty template is compatible with all premium stone materials including granite, marble, quartzite, and engineered quartz. The 3cm thickness particularly suits materials like marble and limestone that benefit from the additional mass for structural performance. Exotic granites with dramatic veining can be showcased effectively in this large format; book-matching techniques can create stunning visual effects across the 60-inch width. Engineered quartz in 3cm thickness provides maximum durability for commercial installations. When selecting materials, consider that the substantial dimensions will prominently display the stone's characteristics鈥攂oth beautiful and flawed鈥攕o choose slabs carefully with attention to consistency across the required dimensions.
Where to Buy
60-inch stair treads in 3cm thickness represent premium architectural stone work and should be sourced through experienced fabricators specializing in large-format architectural elements. These dimensions require professional-grade equipment, experienced craftspeople, and careful material selection. Contact stone fabricators serving commercial and high-end residential markets, as they typically maintain relationships with suppliers of premium large-format slabs. Expect lead times of 2-4 weeks for custom fabrication, as obtaining suitable slabs and scheduling production of this scale requires planning. Installation should also be performed by professionals experienced with heavy stone elements.
