Description
Our extended-width diamond pattern backsplash template provides seamless coverage for longer countertop installations without visible seams or pattern interruptions. This 8-inch by 60-inch DXF file is specifically engineered for fabricators working with oversized slab materials or those seeking to minimize joints in expansive kitchen designs. The diamond scoring pattern maintains perfect geometric consistency across the full 60-inch span, creating an uninterrupted visual flow that elevates high-end residential and commercial projects. The extended width makes this template particularly valuable for contemporary open-concept kitchens where backsplashes span 5 feet or more between appliances or obstacles. By eliminating mid-run seams, you deliver a more refined finished product that showcases both your craftsmanship and the natural beauty of the stone material. Compatible with all CNC router and waterjet systems, this template includes optimized tool paths that maintain scoring consistency from edge to edge.

Installation Overview
Begin by verifying your slab dimensions can accommodate the 60-inch width requirement, accounting for edge treatments and any necessary overhang. Position the template to optimize grain direction and avoid natural fissures that could compromise scoring quality. When programming your CNC system, establish secure workholding across the entire length to prevent vibration-induced pattern variations. The extended width may require additional vacuum zones or mechanical clamps compared to shorter templates. After machining, inspect scored lines under raking light to verify depth consistency, paying special attention to the center section where longer tool paths may introduce subtle variations.
CNC Cutting Notes
Extended-width templates demand enhanced attention to bit deflection and machine rigidity. Use the shortest tool extension possible while maintaining safe clearance, as the longer cutting paths increase cumulative deflection in less rigid setups. Consider programming the diamond pattern in sections with strategic start/stop points rather than attempting single continuous paths across the full 60 inches. This approach minimizes accumulated positioning errors. For waterjet systems, verify that your gantry maintains perpendicularity across the full travel distance, as even minor deviations become visible in geometric patterns. Reduce feed rates by an additional 10-15% compared to shorter templates to compensate for increased tool stress. Monitor bit wear more frequently during extended runs.
Material Compatibility
This 60-inch template requires slab materials of sufficient size, making it ideal for jumbo-sized quartz slabs, large-format porcelain panels, and premium granite slabs. The extended width showcases continuous veining patterns in marble and quartzite beautifully, as the uninterrupted diamond scoring complements rather than disrupts the natural stone movement. Engineered quartz in jumbo slab format is particularly well-suited, as these manufactured materials provide the dimensional stability needed for longer single-piece installations. Verify material flatness across the full 60-inch span before machining, as bowing or warping will affect scoring depth consistency.
