Installation Overview
The Small Bevel (1/8") Edge Profile (Granite) - 2cm 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 marble, 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 small 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 small 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
Optimal CNC settings for the Small Bevel (1/8") 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 small 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 Small Bevel (1/8") 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 small 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.
