Installation Overview
Installing the T-Shape Intersection 24.0" depth template requires standard stone fabrication procedures adapted for the seams category. Begin with accurate field measurements to verify the template dimensions match the installation site. Import the DXF file into CNC programming software and create an optimized cutting plan that minimizes material waste. For the cutting phase, select appropriate diamond tooling based on the stone type being fabricated. Maintain consistent coolant flow during all CNC operations to prevent thermal damage. After cutting, perform edge finishing according to the template specifications. Dry-fit all pieces at the installation site before applying adhesive. Use construction-grade silicone or epoxy appropriate for stone installations. Ensure proper support for all sections, adding brackets where overhangs exceed manufacturer recommendations. Apply a penetrating sealer after installation to protect the finished surface. Final inspection should verify all dimensions match the template within acceptable tolerances.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC programming for the T-Shape Intersection 24.0" depth should account for tool wear compensation, especially on abrasive granite stones. Recommended parameters: spindle speed 4500-6500 RPM, feed rate 35-55 IPM for roughing. The seam geometry benefits from a two-pass strategy — rough to within 2mm of final profile, then finish at reduced feed rate (15-25 IPM). Use plunge rates no faster than 10 IPM to prevent tool breakage. Monitor vibration levels during cutting; excessive chatter indicates tool wear or incorrect speed/feed settings. Keep backup tooling on hand for production runs exceeding 50 linear feet of edge profile.
Material Compatibility
The T-Shape Intersection 24.0" depth profile pairs best with medium-to-hard natural stones and engineered materials. Granite is the ideal substrate, offering the hardness needed to maintain the seam 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.
