Bocchi
The Bocchi 1618 DFX is a professional-grade undermount fireclay sink featuring a generous single bowl design ideal for commercial and residential installations. This premium sink measures 33.75" x 20" overall with a deep 9" bowl that provides exceptional capacity for large pots and pans. Crafted from 100% natural fireclay and fired at temperatures up to 2000°F, the 1618 offers extreme resistance to chipping, scratching, and thermal shock. Our production-ready DXF cutout templates include four installation variants to support undermount, drop-in, and semi-reveal workstation configurations, ensuring precise CNC fabrication for quartz, granite, and solid surface countertops.
Installation Overview
Installing the Bocchi 1618 DFX requires careful planning due to its substantial size and weight. The sink weighs approximately 55 pounds and demands a minimum 48-inch wide base cabinet with reinforced support structures. For undermount installations, use the no-reveal or 1/8" reveal template to create a seamless transition between sink and countertop. The 1/2" overhang variant provides additional lip support for the fireclay rim, while the drop-in template accommodates top-mount installations. The semi-reveal option creates an 11/16" ledge suitable for workstation accessories like cutting boards and colanders. Before cutting, verify dimensions against your actual sink as fireclay production may yield minor size variations. The installation is compatible with garbage disposals without requiring extension flanges, and the sink's non-porous glazed surface resists stains and bacteria while simplifying cleanup.
CNC Cutting Notes
When programming your CNC for the Bocchi 1618 cutout, prioritize chip-free edges by using diamond-coated router bits specifically designed for natural stone materials. Set your feed rate between 60-100 inches per minute depending on material hardness, and maintain a spindle speed of 10,000-15,000 RPM for quartz and granite. Implement ramped entry cuts rather than plunge cuts to minimize stress fractures, especially near corners. For undermount installations, add a 3-5 degree bevel to the cutout edge to facilitate sink clip installation and ensure proper adhesion with silicone or epoxy mounting systems. Always perform a dry-fit test with the actual sink before final adhesive application, as fireclay sinks may vary slightly from template specifications due to their handcrafted nature.
Material Compatibility
The Bocchi 1618 DFX cutout templates are optimized for natural stone and engineered countertop materials including granite, marble, quartzite, quartz composite, and solid surface products. The fireclay sink's substantial weight and heat resistance make it ideal for professional-grade installations where thermal durability is paramount. When working with thinner materials like 2CM quartz, ensure adequate undermount support using sink rails or plywood reinforcement attached to the cabinet frame. For granite and quartzite installations, the stone's natural strength provides excellent support for undermount configurations. Laminate countertops should only use the drop-in variant due to weight considerations and edge exposure limitations. The sink's non-porous fireclay surface pairs exceptionally well with sealed natural stone, creating a cohesive aesthetic while maintaining hygiene standards in food preparation areas.
