Installation Overview
Fabricating and installing the Galley Kitchen Galley with Curved End - 168" layout follows a structured process designed for galley configurations. Begin by importing the DXF template into your CAM software and creating an optimized cutting plan for 25.5" depth geometry. For kitchen galley 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 galley 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 galley 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 Galley Kitchen Galley with Curved End - 168" should account for tool wear compensation, especially on abrasive engineered quartz stones. Recommended parameters: spindle speed 4500-6500 RPM, feed rate 35-55 IPM for roughing. The galley 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
The Galley Kitchen Galley with Curved End - 168" profile pairs best with medium-to-hard natural stones and engineered materials. Granite is the ideal substrate, offering the hardness needed to maintain the galley 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.
