Transform your oversized bathtub installation with this professional curved deck template designed specifically for 72-inch drop-in tubs. This architectural DXF template features an elegant curved edge profile that adds a sophisticated, flowing aesthetic to luxury bathroom renovations. The generous 5-inch deck width provides ample space for bath accessories, candles, and toiletries while creating a spa-like atmosphere. Ideal for fabricators working with premium materials like granite, marble, quartz, and engineered stone, this template accommodates the larger 72" x 36" tub footprint common in master bathrooms and upscale remodels. The curved design softens the visual impact of rectangular tubs and creates a more organic, welcoming bathing environment. Whether you're a professional stone fabricator, contractor, or CNC operator, this template streamlines the layout and cutting process for oversized tub deck installations.
Installation Overview
Installation begins with precise field measurements to verify the tub dimensions match the 72" x 36" template specifications. The template creates an 82" x 46" finished deck with integrated tub cutout, allowing for the 5-inch deck perimeter. Import the DXF file into your CAD software or CNC controller, then adjust toolpath parameters for your specific material thickness and edge treatment. The curved profile requires careful programming of radius cuts to maintain smooth transitions. Position the slab on your CNC table, secure with vacuum or mechanical clamps, and execute the cutting sequence starting with interior cutouts before perimeter shaping.
CNC Cutting Notes
For curved tub decks, use a 1/2-inch or 3/8-inch diameter endmill to achieve smooth radius cuts without excessive tool deflection. Program multiple finishing passes at reduced feedrates along curved sections to minimize chatter and improve surface finish. Consider climb milling for the curved edges to reduce chip-out on brittle materials like granite. Set depth of cut to 0.100-0.150 inches per pass for most stone materials, adjusting based on material hardness and tooling condition. Allow 1/16-inch stock for post-CNC edge polishing along all exposed curved edges.
Material Compatibility
This template works with all standard stone slab materials including granite, marble, quartzite, and engineered quartz in thicknesses from 2cm to 3cm. The curved design is particularly striking in book-matched marble and exotic granite materials where the flowing edge enhances natural veining patterns. For engineered quartz, ensure your cutting parameters account for the higher resin content. Solid surface materials can also be fabricated using this template with appropriate tooling adjustments.
