Installation Overview
The Large Chamfer Edge Profile (Quartzite) - 3cm edge fabrication process begins with verifying slab thickness matches the template specifications. Load the DXF profile into your CNC control software, setting the origin point at the slab edge. For dolomite, select diamond tooling rated for the stone hardness. The roughing sequence should remove material in 3-4 progressive passes to avoid excessive tool wear. Use climb milling direction for cleaner edges on the large profile. Maintain consistent coolant flow throughout all cutting operations. After CNC profiling, inspect the edge against the template geometry using a profile gauge. Hand finishing starts with 50-grit diamond pads, working through the standard progression to 3000 grit. The large profile may require specialty polishing pads for concave sections. Apply masking tape along the countertop surface adjacent to the edge during polishing to prevent surface scratches. Finish with an appropriate stone sealer that penetrates without altering the stone's appearance.
CNC Cutting Notes
For the Large Chamfer Edge Profile (Quartzite) - 3cm profile, set your CNC router spindle speed between 5000-7000 RPM for dolomite substrates. Use a feed rate of 40-60 IPM for roughing passes and reduce to 20-30 IPM for finishing passes. Select a diamond-tipped profile bit matching the template radius specifications. Program the toolpath using climb milling for cleaner cuts on the large geometry. Maintain coolant flow at 2+ GPM to prevent thermal fracturing. For harder stones like granite, reduce feed rates by 20% and increase water flow. Run a test cut on scrap material to verify the profile matches the DXF template before committing to production stock.
Material Compatibility
This large profile is compatible with a wide range of countertop materials. Natural granite remains the most popular substrate, offering durability and an attractive polished finish. Engineered quartz performs excellently, with consistent material properties that make CNC cutting predictable and efficient. Marble requires more careful handling — reduce feed rates by 15-20% to prevent veining from causing unpredictable fractures. Quartzite is an excellent choice for this profile, as the material's hardness preserves fine geometric details through years of use. Dolomite and travertine can be profiled with adjusted parameters. Avoid ultra-thin porcelain slabs for complex profiles without proper backing support.
