Blanco 513425 Precis Bar Prep Sink Cutout
Description
The Blanco 513425 Precis Bar is a compact 13.75-inch undermount bar and prep sink engineered for tight spaces where full-size sinks won't fit. Fabricators love this model for island prep stations, wet bars, butler's pantries, and secondary cleanup areas in luxury kitchens. The rectangular SILGRANIT composite construction provides durability that far exceeds traditional stainless steel bar sinks while maintaining the compact 12.6-inch x 15.75-inch bowl footprint. Our DXF template package includes four precision-cut variants optimized for different reveal preferences, ensuring your installation meets both functional requirements and aesthetic expectations in even the most demanding applications.

The Blanco 513425 Precis Bar is a compact 13.75-inch undermount bar and prep sink engineered for tight spaces where full-size sinks won't fit. Fabricators love this model for island prep stations, wet bars, butler's pantries, and secondary cleanup areas in luxury kitchens. The rectangular SILGRANIT composite construction provides durability that far exceeds traditional stainless steel bar sinks while maintaining the compact 12.6-inch x 15.75-inch bowl footprint. Our DXF template package includes four precision-cut variants optimized for different reveal preferences, ensuring your installation meets both functional requirements and aesthetic expectations in even the most demanding applications.
Installation Overview
Bar and prep sinks present unique installation challenges due to their compact dimensions and frequent placement in unconventional locations. The 513425 Precis Bar requires a minimum 18-inch cabinet base, though we recommend 21 inches for comfortable plumbing access and installation clearance. Unlike full-size kitchen sinks, bar sinks often get installed in locations with limited access from below, so careful template positioning is critical before cutting. The four template variants provide flexibility for different installation scenarios. Use the no-reveal variant when maximum bowl capacity is essential, the 1/8-inch reveal for standard undermount installations with slight tolerance, the 1/2-inch reveal for pronounced ledge visibility, and the drop-in variant for rare applications where undermount isn't feasible. Position the sink toward the rear of the countertop when possible to maximize usable counter space in front of the bowl. The 7.5-inch bowl depth provides adequate capacity for hand washing and vegetable prep without requiring excessive countertop thickness.
CNC Cutting Notes
The Precis Bar's compact dimensions and 0.75-inch corner radii demand exceptional CNC precision since any cutting errors are magnified in the small bowl perimeter. Program your toolpath to maintain consistent offset distance around the entire bowl profile, paying special attention to the corners where radius transitions occur. For quartz and granite, use 10mm or 12mm diamond core bits with coolant flow rates sufficient to prevent heat buildup in the small cutting area. Feed rates should be reduced to 80-100 inches per minute for the tighter radii to prevent tool deflection and ensure smooth curves. The narrow 12.6-inch bowl width means less material removal than full-size sinks, reducing total cutting time but increasing the importance of first-pass accuracy since there's minimal material available for field adjustments or repairs. Always run a dry simulation of your toolpath before committing to the cut, verifying that corner radii interpolate smoothly and lead-in/lead-out paths don't create witness marks on visible surfaces.
Material Compatibility
The compact 513425 Precis Bar adapts to virtually any countertop material with appropriate template selection. On granite and engineered quartz, undermount installation with the 1/8-inch reveal variant provides the most reliable results, balancing installation tolerance with aesthetic appeal. The relatively light weight of approximately 18-20 pounds allows installation in thinner materials than full-size sinks require, with minimum countertop thickness of 2cm for undermount applications. Solid surface materials work exceptionally well with this model since the small bowl perimeter minimizes seam visibility and allows for integrated drip edge fabrication. When installing in marble or other softer stones, take extra care with clamp positioning during adhesive curing to prevent edge fracturing around the cutout perimeter. The SILGRANIT material's non-porous surface resists staining from wine, coffee, and other bar beverages, making it ideal for wet bar applications where traditional undermount sinks might show water spots or mineral deposits.
Where to Buy
The Blanco 513425 Precis Bar sink is available through major kitchen and bath retailers including Lowe's, Amazon, The Sink Boutique, and specialty plumbing suppliers. Typical retail pricing ranges from $280-$400 depending on color selection and retailer. The model 513425 comes in Metallic Gray SILGRANIT finish, with other color variants available under different model numbers including 440143 and color-specific SKUs for Anthracite, Coal Black, White, and Cafe Brown. When ordering, verify the model number corresponds to your desired color since Blanco uses different SKUs for identical sinks in different finishes. Professional fabricators may qualify for trade pricing through Ferguson or other wholesale distributors. All Precis Bar sinks include Blanco's limited lifetime warranty.
