Description
The Double Ogee edge profile represents the pinnacle of luxury countertop edge design, featuring two stacked S-curves that create an elegant, classical appearance. This sophisticated edge treatment is designed specifically for 3cm (1-3/16 inch) slabs and delivers a dramatic visual impact that elevates any kitchen or bathroom installation. The double ogee combines traditional craftsmanship aesthetics with modern CNC precision, making it a favorite choice for high-end residential projects, luxury hotels, and premium commercial spaces. This template includes a comprehensive 12-position tool sequence starting with roughing finger bits and progressing through metal bond and resin bond polishing pads from 50 grit to 8000 grit, finishing with a buff pad for mirror-like shine. The profile extends 1.5 inches from the slab face and showcases the full 1.181-inch thickness of the 3cm material. Fabricators appreciate the double ogee for its ability to command premium pricing while the detailed tool sequence ensures consistent, reproducible results across multiple installations.

Installation Overview
Installing a double ogee edge requires careful attention to slab positioning and support during the extended machining cycle. Begin by securing the slab with adequate support under the edge to prevent vibration during the multi-pass roughing operations. The template specifies two roughing passes with 20mm finger bits at different RPMs to establish the complex curved profile without overloading the tooling. Position the slab to allow full tool access along the entire edge length, ensuring consistent depth of cut. After roughing, the 11-position polishing sequence progressively refines the surface through metal bond pads (50-100 grit) followed by resin bond pads (200-8000 grit). Each polishing position requires specific RPM settings ranging from 2240 to 3520 RPM. The entire edge fabrication typically takes 45-60 minutes per linear foot depending on material hardness and desired finish quality.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC programming for the double ogee edge demands precise tool path generation to achieve the signature stacked S-curve geometry. Start roughing operations at 2800 RPM with the 20mm finger bit, using conservative feed rates of 60-80 inches per minute to prevent tool deflection on the aggressive curved portions. The secondary roughing pass at 2380 RPM with fine depth increments (0.5mm max) smooths the profile and reduces polishing time. During polishing, maintain consistent tool pressure and overlap each pass by 30-40% to eliminate witness lines. Increase RPM progressively through the polishing sequence as specified, but monitor material temperature especially on engineered quartz to avoid resin burn. The profile depth of 1.5 inches requires careful Z-axis calibration and tool length verification before beginning fabrication. Use coolant or water during all cutting and initial polishing stages to extend tool life and improve surface quality.
Material Compatibility
The double ogee edge profile works beautifully on all premium natural stone and engineered materials including granite, marble, quartzite, quartz, and ultracompact surfaces. Harder materials like quartzite and Dekton may require RPM adjustments (increase by 5-10%) and more frequent tool dressing to maintain edge quality. Softer materials like marble benefit from starting polishing at 100 grit instead of 50 grit to avoid excessive material removal. The 3cm thickness is essential for this profile as thinner materials lack sufficient depth to showcase the full double-curve design. Premium white marbles and high-contrast granites particularly benefit from the light-catching properties of the double ogee's complex curves.
