Description
The demi bullnose edge profile represents a timeless choice for 2cm countertop installations, offering a refined curved edge that bridges the gap between simple eased edges and more dramatic full bullnose treatments. This versatile profile features a gentle radius that provides visual sophistication while maintaining practical durability for everyday use. With a profile depth of 1.5 inches and visible edge depth matching the 0.787-inch slab thickness, the demi bullnose creates an elegant transition from horizontal surface to vertical edge. This universal template provides baseline CNC parameters suitable for a wide range of natural and engineered stone materials. Starting at 3150 RPM for roughing operations and progressing through a comprehensive nine-position polishing sequence, these settings deliver reliable results across granite, marble, and similar materials when material-specific optimization is not required. The demi bullnose profile complements both traditional and contemporary design aesthetics, making it a popular choice for residential kitchens, bathroom vanities, and commercial applications where understated elegance is desired.

Installation Overview
Edge profile installation begins with thorough slab preparation and secure fixturing to prevent movement during machining operations. The CNC sequence initiates with a 20mm roughing finger bit at 3150 RPM to establish the basic profile geometry. The polishing progression follows a systematic nine-stage sequence beginning with 50-grit metal bond diamonds at 2520 RPM. Each subsequent position increases both grit fineness and rotational speed: 100-grit at 2700 RPM, 200-grit at 2880 RPM, 400-grit at 3060 RPM, 800-grit at 3240 RPM, 1500-grit at 3420 RPM, 3000-grit at 3600 RPM, and 6000-grit at 3780 RPM. The sequence concludes with buffing at 3600 RPM to achieve a mirror-like surface finish that matches the slab face polish.
CNC Cutting Notes
When programming this universal profile, maintain consistent feed rates between 60-80 inches per minute for most materials, adjusting based on specific stone hardness and machine capabilities. Ensure adequate water delivery throughout all operations to manage heat generation, silica dust suppression, and material debris removal. Tool pressure should be moderate and consistent across the entire profile path to avoid waviness or inconsistent polish. For optimal results with specific materials, consider using the material-optimized template variants that account for unique characteristics of quartz, quartzite, marble, or ultracompact surfaces. Monitor polishing pad condition and replace when showing signs of glazing or reduced effectiveness.
Material Compatibility
This universal template is designed for 2cm (approximately 3/4-inch) countertop slabs across a range of materials including granite, marble, and similar natural stones. The baseline parameters provide a reliable starting point for general fabrication work. However, for best results with specific material types, refer to the material-optimized variants: use lower RPMs for softer marble to prevent surface damage, higher speeds for extremely hard quartzite, reduced speeds for resin-sensitive engineered quartz, or specialized parameters for ultracompact sintered stone products. The geometric profile dimensions remain consistent across material variants.
