Wolf 36 Transitional Induction Cooktop
Description
The Wolf CI365TF-S delivers professional-grade induction cooking in a 36-inch transitional configuration with five cooking zones. For countertop fabricators, this premium appliance requires exacting cutout precision: 35" x 19.5" with a 0.5" corner radius. Our professionally engineered DXF template streamlines CNC programming for this sophisticated installation, accounting for the unit's 2" profile, bridge function capabilities, and the structural demands of supporting a high-performance induction surface in your stone or engineered material fabrication.

The Wolf CI365TF-S delivers professional-grade induction cooking in a 36-inch transitional configuration with five cooking zones. For countertop fabricators, this premium appliance requires exacting cutout precision: 35" x 19.5" with a 0.5" corner radius. Our professionally engineered DXF template streamlines CNC programming for this sophisticated installation, accounting for the unit's 2" profile, bridge function capabilities, and the structural demands of supporting a high-performance induction surface in your stone or engineered material fabrication.
Installation Overview
Professional installation of the Wolf CI365TF-S begins with meticulous countertop preparation and dimensional accuracy. The 35" x 19.5" cutout must be executed with precision tolerances, as the transitional frame design depends on accurate perimeter dimensions for proper seating and aesthetic alignment. The specified 0.5" corner radius is critical for stress distribution across quartz, granite, and solid surface installations - sharp corners create failure points under thermal cycling and structural loads. With a 21" overall depth, verify adequate cabinet clearance before cutting, and coordinate the 50-amp dedicated electrical circuit positioning with project electricians. Material thickness of at least 2" is recommended for structural integrity. The black ceramic glass cooking surface integrates seamlessly when the cutout is properly executed, while the brushed stainless steel frame conceals edges and creates a refined professional finish. Plan for thermal expansion considerations in your material selection and support structure design.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC programming for the Wolf CI365TF-S template demands material-specific strategies for optimal results. Natural stone cutting requires wet diamond tooling at 3000-4000 RPM with multiple shallow passes - typically 1/4" depth per pass for granite, less for marble. Quartz fabrication needs particular attention: reduce feed rates by 30-40 percent compared to natural stone, maintain consistent coolant flow, and avoid prolonged tool engagement that generates heat buildup causing resin damage. The 0.5" corner radius should be executed using appropriately sized tooling - a 1" diameter end mill or ball nose bit works well for this application. Program tool compensation accurately to maintain dimensional precision across the entire 35" width. Always run test cuts on scrap material to verify your toolpath produces the exact dimensions before committing to expensive slab material. Clean, chip-free edges are essential for professional induction cooktop installations.
Material Compatibility
The Wolf CI365TF-S template accommodates various premium countertop materials, each presenting unique fabrication considerations. Granite provides excellent thermal stability and structural support for this substantial cooktop unit, with natural heat dissipation properties ideal for kitchen environments. Quartz surfaces excel with induction cooking installations since electromagnetic heating minimizes heat transfer to surrounding counter areas - a significant advantage over gas or radiant electric cooktops. Engineered quartz's consistent density and predictable machining characteristics make it popular for precision installations. Solid surface materials like Corian require additional perimeter reinforcement around the cutout to support the cooktop weight over time. Exotic stones such as quartzite and soapstone work well but demand specialized cutting parameters. Minimum 2" material thickness is essential regardless of stone type, with 3cm (approximately 1.25") being standard for most installations. Consider the weight distribution and long-term support requirements when planning your fabrication approach.
