Installation Overview
Installing the Half Bullnose Edge Profile (Ultracompact (Dekton/Neolith)) - 3cm+2cm Laminated edge profile requires careful preparation of the substrate edge before applying the profile. Begin by ensuring the countertop slab is cut to final dimensions with clean, squared edges. For quartzite substrates, use a diamond blade at reduced feed rates to prevent chipping. The edge profile should be roughed using a CNC router with the DXF template loaded as the toolpath guide. Start with a roughing pass at 60-70% depth using a coarse diamond bit, then follow with a finishing pass at full depth using a fine-grit profile wheel. Allow adequate water flow during cutting to prevent thermal stress fractures. After CNC shaping, hand-finish using progressive diamond polishing pads from 50 grit through 3000 grit. For the half profile specifically, pay attention to the transition zones where curves meet flat surfaces. Apply a stone sealer appropriate for quartzite once the edge is fully polished. Final inspection should verify the profile matches the DXF geometry within 1/32" tolerance.
CNC Cutting Notes
Optimal CNC settings for the Half Bullnose Edge Profile (Ultracompact (Dekton/Neolith)) - 3cm+2cm Laminated 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 half 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 Half Bullnose Edge Profile (Ultracompact (Dekton/Neolith)) - 3cm+2cm Laminated profile pairs best with medium-to-hard natural stones and engineered materials. Granite is the ideal substrate, offering the hardness needed to maintain the half 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.
