This precision DXF template provides the exact cutting dimensions for installing Moen MotionSense touchless kitchen faucets in countertop applications. Designed specifically for the Moen 7594E series and compatible MotionSense models, this template ensures accurate hole placement for seamless installation of touchless faucets that bring hands-free convenience to modern kitchens. The template accounts for the larger mounting requirements of sensor-equipped faucets, which include electronic components and battery/AC adapter housing beneath the deck. Professional countertop fabricators rely on this template to achieve clean, precise cuts in quartz, granite, marble, and solid surface materials while maintaining proper clearances for the faucet's motion detection technology.
Installation Overview
The Moen MotionSense faucet requires a single mounting hole with a 1.5-inch (38mm) diameter, slightly larger than standard faucets to accommodate the control box and sensor wiring. Installation through countertops up to 2.5 inches thick is supported. The template positions the hole to allow proper alignment of the deck gasket and secure mounting of the faucet body with the included hardware. Fabricators should ensure adequate clearance beneath the countertop for the control box, which must be positioned within 5 feet of an electrical outlet if using the optional AC adapter. The hole should be cut perpendicular to the countertop surface with smooth, polished edges to prevent stress fractures and ensure a watertight seal with the deck gasket. For undermount sink installations, maintain minimum 2-inch spacing from the sink rim to the faucet hole center to prevent structural weakness in the countertop material.
CNC Cutting Notes
When programming CNC equipment for this template, use a 1.5-inch diameter hole saw or core drill bit rated for the specific countertop material. For quartz and engineered stone, select diamond-core bits with adequate cooling to prevent thermal cracking and maintain bit life. Set feed rates between 3-6 inches per minute depending on material density, and ensure continuous water flow for cooling and dust suppression. The DXF file is scaled to actual dimensions and requires no scaling adjustments when imported into CAM software. Verify origin point placement before cutting, as the template uses a center-point reference for the hole location. For manual machining, transfer the template to the countertop surface using a center punch to mark the exact hole center, then drill a pilot hole before using the appropriately sized hole saw. Always cut from the finished surface downward to minimize chipping and edge damage. For brittle materials like marble or thin porcelain slabs, consider applying reinforcement tape to the top surface before cutting to reduce the risk of surface cracking.
Material Compatibility
This faucet hole template is compatible with all common countertop materials including quartz, granite, marble, soapstone, solid surface (Corian, Hi-Macs), laminate, butcher block, concrete, porcelain slabs, and stainless steel. Material thickness compatibility ranges from 0.5 inches to 2.5 inches maximum deck thickness as specified by Moen. Quartz and granite installations achieve the cleanest results due to their uniform density and resistance to cracking during drilling. For solid surface materials, standard hole saws work effectively with lower cutting speeds to prevent melting. Laminate countertops may require specialized techniques such as drilling from both sides to prevent delamination of the substrate. Concrete countertops should be fully cured (minimum 28 days) before cutting, and reinforcement should be verified to avoid cutting through embedded rebar. When working with natural stone materials that have heavy veining or fracture planes, position the faucet hole away from visible fissures to maintain structural integrity. Porcelain slabs require diamond-core bits and extremely careful handling due to their brittleness despite surface hardness.
Where to Buy
Moen MotionSense faucets are available through authorized kitchen and bath retailers, including Ferguson, Supply.com, Build.com, Home Depot, Lowe's, and local plumbing supply distributors. Professional fabricators can establish trade accounts with Ferguson or local supply houses for contractor pricing on Moen products. This DXF template file is available for download through the Slabwise template library and is compatible with all major CAD/CAM software platforms including AutoCAD, CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator, and CNC control software such as Vectric, AlphaCam, and Mastercam. The template can be integrated into digital templating workflows using laser or photogrammetry measuring systems. For fabrication shops using automated CNC equipment, the template imports directly into machine control software without conversion requirements. When purchasing Moen MotionSense faucets, verify the specific model number (7594E series variants) to ensure compatibility with this template, as some specialty configurations may have different mounting requirements.
