Installation Overview
The fabrication process for the Northwood Raptor SawJet - Soapstone 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 Northwood Raptor SawJet - Soapstone Cutting Preset profile, set your CNC router spindle speed between 5000-7000 RPM for granite 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 - Soapstone 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.
