The double ogee edge profile is one of the most refined edge treatments available for granite countertops. Featuring two stacked S-curves, this classic profile adds depth and visual richness that pairs well with traditional and transitional kitchen designs. This free DXF template is built for 2cm (3/4 inch) granite slabs and includes the exact geometry your CNC needs for a clean, repeatable cut. The double ogee edge profile works particularly well on natural stone because granite's hardness holds the crisp curves through years of daily use. From initial roughing passes to final polish, this template eliminates guesswork and ensures every piece matches. Fabricators consistently report that the double ogee is one of their most requested luxury profiles for residential kitchen and bathroom projects.
Installation Overview
Fabricating the Double Ogee Edge Profile (Granite) - 2cm edge starts with proper slab preparation and CNC setup. Secure the countertop blank on the CNC table using vacuum pods or mechanical clamps, ensuring the edge to be profiled extends beyond the table edge sufficiently. Load the DXF template into your CAM software and set the appropriate tool offsets for your specific edge profiling bits. For the initial roughing pass on natural stone, use a feed rate of 40-60 inches per minute with a spindle speed of 4500-6000 RPM. The double profile geometry requires attention to bit selection, using profiling wheels that match the radius specifications in the template. After roughing, perform a semi-finish pass at 80% depth before the final profile cut. Water flow should be maintained at 2-3 gallons per minute minimum to prevent heat buildup. Hand polishing follows CNC work, progressing through 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500, and 3000 grit pads. Buff with a felt pad and polishing compound for a mirror finish. Seal with an impregnating sealer designed for natural stone.
CNC Cutting Notes
Optimal CNC settings for the Double Ogee Edge Profile (Granite) - 2cm template depend on the substrate material. For natural granite, use 4000-5500 RPM with 30-50 IPM feed. For quartz composites, increase to 5500-7000 RPM at 45-65 IPM. The double profile requires careful attention to entry and exit points on the toolpath to prevent edge chipping. Program multiple depth passes rather than a single full-depth cut. Coolant temperature should remain below 70°F for optimal diamond tool performance. Dress profiling wheels after every 20-30 linear feet of cutting to maintain profile accuracy.
Material Compatibility
The Double Ogee Edge Profile (Granite) - 2cm profile pairs best with medium-to-hard natural stones and engineered materials. Granite is the ideal substrate, offering the hardness needed to maintain the double 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.
