BocchiI 1358 DXF Cutout
Description
The Bocchi Sotto 12 model 1358 represents premium fireclay craftsmanship in a compact bar and prep sink configuration. This professional-grade DXF template provides precision-verified cutout specifications for the 12-inch by 18-inch single bowl design, ideal for bar installations, butler's pantries, island prep areas, and compact kitchen workstations. At just 22.88 pounds, this lighter fireclay sink offers easier installation than larger farmhouse models while maintaining the exceptional durability and aesthetic appeal that defines the Bocchi brand. Our comprehensive template package includes four fabrication variants: no reveal for flush undermount installations, 1/8-inch reveal for subtle ledge detail, 1/2-inch overhang for maximum bowl exposure, and drop-in configuration for top-mount versatility. Stone fabricators working on high-end residential projects will appreciate the manufacturer-verified dimensions that ensure accurate CNC cutting for granite, quartz, and engineered stone applications.

Installation Overview
Installing the Bocchi 1358 Sotto 12 requires a minimum 18-inch base cabinet, though Bocchi recommends 21-inch cabinets for undermount installations and 24-inch cabinets for optimal accessibility and storage. The compact 22.88-pound weight makes this sink significantly easier to handle than full-size kitchen sinks, reducing installation complexity and the need for extensive cabinet reinforcement. The sink supports three primary installation methods: undermount for contemporary seamless aesthetics, drop-in for traditional top-mount installations, and semi-reveal workstation configuration with an 11/16-inch ledge that accommodates small cutting boards and accessories. While lighter than farmhouse models, fireclay's natural manufacturing process still produces dimensional variations up to 2 percent from published specifications. Professional installers should measure the actual sink upon delivery before cutting expensive stone countertops. The 9-inch by 15-inch bowl provides sufficient depth for bar glassware, food prep tasks, and hand-washing delicate items. The sink accommodates standard garbage disposals without requiring special mounting flanges. Proper sealing with high-quality silicone ensures water-tight installation and long-term durability. The dual-mount capability offers installation flexibility for both new construction and renovation projects where existing cutouts may influence mounting method selection.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC fabrication of the Bocchi 1358 cutout presents straightforward programming due to the compact dimensions and simple rectangular geometry. The 9-inch by 15-inch bowl opening requires standard diamond tooling appropriate for your stone material, whether granite, quartz, or marble. For undermount installations in 2cm material, ensure adequate edge support during cutting to prevent cracking around the relatively small opening. The 3cm stone provides better structural integrity and easier fabrication. Program your CNC router or bridge saw to maintain the specified corner radius consistently throughout the cut, avoiding sharp corners that could create stress points in the stone. Tool diameter compensation becomes critical for precise fit, particularly when fabricating the 1/8-inch reveal variant where dimensional accuracy directly affects the visible ledge quality. Feed rates should be adjusted based on stone hardness and density, with slower speeds for exotic granites and faster cutting possible in uniform engineered quartz. The drop-in variant requires careful attention to edge profiling, as the visible rim must be smooth and precisely dimensioned. Test your toolpath on scrap material matching your installation stone to verify corner radii, edge quality, and overall dimensional accuracy before cutting the final countertop.
Material Compatibility
This template is optimized for installation in natural stone, engineered stone, and solid surface countertops with appropriate thickness and structural properties. Granite in both 2cm and 3cm thickness works excellently, with the compact cutout size minimizing structural concerns even in more exotic varieties with natural fissures. Quartz composite materials from manufacturers like Caesarstone, Silestone, Cambria, and LG Viatera provide ideal installation surfaces with consistent properties and superior strength. Marble installations are fully compatible, as the smaller sink size and lighter weight reduce stress on this softer natural stone. Quartzite delivers exceptional durability for high-end bar and prep sink applications. Ultra-compact surfaces like Dekton, Neolith, and Lapitec work perfectly with this template. Solid surface materials like Corian, HI-MACS, and Staron can accommodate this lighter sink when properly supported, unlike heavier farmhouse models. Concrete countertops in adequate thickness support this installation well. Butcher block and wood countertops require careful sealing but can work for undermount installations. Laminate countertops can support drop-in installations but are not recommended for undermount mounting due to moisture concerns and edge finishing limitations.
