Installation Overview
Installing the Northwood Raptor SawJet - Slate Cutting Preset template requires standard stone fabrication procedures adapted for the cnc-presets category. Begin with accurate field measurements to verify the template dimensions match the installation site. Import the DXF file into CNC programming software and create an optimized cutting plan that minimizes material waste. For the cutting phase, select appropriate diamond tooling based on the stone type being fabricated. Maintain consistent coolant flow during all CNC operations to prevent thermal damage. After cutting, perform edge finishing according to the template specifications. Dry-fit all pieces at the installation site before applying adhesive. Use construction-grade silicone or epoxy appropriate for stone installations. Ensure proper support for all sections, adding brackets where overhangs exceed manufacturer recommendations. Apply a penetrating sealer after installation to protect the finished surface. Final inspection should verify all dimensions match the template within acceptable tolerances.
CNC Cutting Notes
For the Northwood Raptor SawJet - 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 northwood 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
The Northwood Raptor SawJet - Slate Cutting Preset profile pairs best with medium-to-hard natural stones and engineered materials. Granite is the ideal substrate, offering the hardness needed to maintain the northwood geometry while accepting a brilliant polish. Quartz composites provide consistent results with minimal tool wear variation. For softer stones like marble or limestone, the profile remains achievable but requires adjusted CNC parameters and additional care during finishing. Exotic stones such as quartzite and super-white dolomite produce stunning results with this profile. Sintered stone panels are compatible when using specialized thin-material tooling. Always perform a test cut on representative material before beginning production runs.
