Installation Overview
The fabrication process for the Flow Mach 4 - Slate Cutting Preset begins with DXF template verification and material selection. Import the template geometry into your CAM software, setting appropriate tool paths for the cnc-presets specifications. Select diamond tooling rated for the specific stone material being processed. CNC cutting should proceed in stages: roughing passes followed by finishing passes at full depth. Maintain proper coolant flow throughout all machining operations. After all pieces are cut, perform any required edge finishing or polishing operations. Transport pieces to the installation site using appropriate lifting equipment and A-frame racks. On-site, verify cabinet or substrate preparation meets installation requirements. Apply adhesive in the recommended pattern and set pieces beginning with the largest section. Complete all joints with color-matched epoxy. Allow full cure time before loading the installation with fixtures or appliances. Seal all exposed surfaces with an appropriate stone sealer.
CNC Cutting Notes
For the Flow Mach 4 - Slate Cutting Preset profile, set your CNC router spindle speed between 5000-7000 RPM for engineered quartz substrates. Use a feed rate of 40-60 IPM for roughing passes and reduce to 20-30 IPM for finishing passes. Select a diamond-tipped profile bit matching the template radius specifications. Program the toolpath using climb milling for cleaner cuts on the flow geometry. Maintain coolant flow at 2+ GPM to prevent thermal fracturing. For harder stones like granite, reduce feed rates by 20% and increase water flow. Run a test cut on scrap material to verify the profile matches the DXF template before committing to production stock.
Material Compatibility
This flow profile is compatible with a wide range of countertop materials. Natural granite remains the most popular substrate, offering durability and an attractive polished finish. Engineered quartz performs excellently, with consistent material properties that make CNC cutting predictable and efficient. Marble requires more careful handling — reduce feed rates by 15-20% to prevent veining from causing unpredictable fractures. Quartzite is an excellent choice for this profile, as the material's hardness preserves fine geometric details through years of use. Dolomite and travertine can be profiled with adjusted parameters. Avoid ultra-thin porcelain slabs for complex profiles without proper backing support.
