Installation Overview
Fabricating and installing the Shower Bench Corner Triangle - Small layout follows a structured process designed for shower-bench configurations. Begin by importing the DXF template into your CAM software and creating an optimized cutting plan for 16" width, 16" depth geometry. For bathroom shower bench installations, account for any field modifications noted during site verification. Program CNC cuts with appropriate tool compensation for blade kerf width. Cut all pieces, then perform edge finishing as specified. Dry-assemble the complete layout in the shop when possible to verify fit before delivery. During installation, start with the longest run of the shower-bench layout, setting it level on the prepared cabinets. Use construction adhesive rated for stone on all cabinet contact surfaces. Proceed with adjoining sections, seaming with color-matched epoxy. For corners in the shower-bench configuration, use specialized seam placement to minimize visual impact. Support all overhangs with brackets rated for the stone weight. Seal all surfaces upon completion.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC programming for the Shower Bench Corner Triangle - Small should account for tool wear compensation, especially on abrasive granite stones. Recommended parameters: spindle speed 4500-6500 RPM, feed rate 35-55 IPM for roughing. The shower-bench geometry benefits from a two-pass strategy — rough to within 2mm of final profile, then finish at reduced feed rate (15-25 IPM). Use plunge rates no faster than 10 IPM to prevent tool breakage. Monitor vibration levels during cutting; excessive chatter indicates tool wear or incorrect speed/feed settings. Keep backup tooling on hand for production runs exceeding 50 linear feet of edge profile.
Material Compatibility
This shower-bench 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.
