Description
Maximize efficiency and aesthetic impact with this extra-wide 6-inch by 60-inch subway tile backsplash template designed for CNC stone fabrication. This extended format is engineered specifically for long kitchen runs and commercial applications where minimizing seams is critical to both visual appeal and installation efficiency. The 60-inch width represents the upper limit of practical backsplash panel dimensions for most residential and commercial installations, allowing fabricators to cover extensive wall sections with minimal joints. This template creates the classic subway tile look through precision-scored patterns while maintaining the structural benefits of continuous stone. The extended width is particularly valuable in modern kitchen designs featuring long counter runs without upper cabinets, where backsplash becomes a prominent design element. Designed for professional stone fabricators working with CNC equipment, this DXF template eliminates hours of custom design work while ensuring accurate, repeatable results. The scored subway tile pattern works seamlessly across all popular stone types including granite, quartz, quartzite, and marble, providing design flexibility while simplifying production workflows and inventory management.

Installation Overview
Production begins with material selection and careful slab layout planning to accommodate the 60-inch width while optimizing material usage and aesthetic considerations. Import the DXF template into your CNC control software and verify all dimensions match your project requirements. The extended width necessitates extra attention to material support - ensure the stone slab is fully supported across its entire surface using vacuum hold-down systems or additional support blocks to prevent deflection during machining. Configure scoring parameters appropriate to your specific stone type, generally 1-2mm depth for optimal visual definition. Program coolant flow to maintain consistent temperatures throughout the extended cutting operation. Execute the CNC scoring program, monitoring carefully for any signs of material movement or tooling issues across the wider span. After scoring completion, clean all grooves thoroughly, finish edges according to project specifications, and conduct comprehensive quality inspection. The 60-inch width requires careful handling during transport and installation - use appropriate lifting equipment and support systems to prevent cracking or damage.
CNC Cutting Notes
The 60-inch width demands rigorous CNC setup and calibration to maintain pattern accuracy across this extended span. Utilize diamond scoring wheels of 2-3mm width or precision V-bits operating at 10,000-12,000 RPM with feed rates between 70-100 inches per minute - slower than shorter templates to maintain consistency over longer travel distances. The extended width increases cumulative positioning error potential, so verify machine calibration and ensure proper lubrication of all guide systems before starting production. Scoring depth should range from 1.0-2.0mm depending on material hardness and desired visual prominence. Implement multiple vacuum zones across the bed length to prevent any material lifting during the extended cutting operation. Program toolpaths to execute all parallel lines in the same direction to minimize accumulation of directional errors. Consider splitting the scoring operation into multiple passes if working with particularly hard materials like quartzite or ultra-compact surfaces. Use high-quality, sharp tooling and replace bits at the first sign of wear - dull tools become more problematic across longer cutting paths. Always execute test scoring on scrap material from the production slab to verify parameters before committing to the final workpiece.
Material Compatibility
This template performs excellently across all stone categories when proper machining parameters are applied. Engineered quartz surfaces like Caesarstone, Cambria, Silestone, and Hanstone deliver superior results with minimal chipping and excellent score line consistency due to their manufactured uniformity - ideal for this extended width format where consistency is paramount. Natural granite produces outstanding results when scoring depth is adjusted for specific hardness levels, with harder varieties like Absolute Black, Steel Grey, and Blue Pearl accepting deeper scores while softer granites require lighter touch. Marble backsplashes create timeless subway tile aesthetics, though softer varieties like Carrara, Calacatta, and Statuario demand careful scoring parameters around 1.0-1.5mm depth to avoid micro-fracturing. Quartzite works beautifully with this pattern when using carbide or diamond-coated bits and slower feed rates to accommodate its extreme hardness. Ultra-compact surfaces including Dekton, Neolith, and Lapitec produce razor-sharp scored lines when proper diamond tooling is employed. Porcelain slabs score cleanly with specialized bits designed for ceramic materials. Minimum recommended thickness is 2cm, though 3cm provides additional structural security for the extended 60-inch width, particularly during handling and installation.
