Installation Overview
Installing the Elkay ECTRU15179 Crosstown 17 Bar Sink Cutout template requires standard stone fabrication procedures adapted for the sinks 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
Optimal CNC settings for the Elkay ECTRU15179 Crosstown 17 Bar Sink Cutout template depend on the substrate material. For natural granite, use 4000-5500 RPM with 30-50 IPM feed. For quartz composites, increase to 5500-7000 RPM at 45-65 IPM. The elkay profile requires careful attention to entry and exit points on the toolpath to prevent edge chipping. Program multiple depth passes rather than a single full-depth cut. Coolant temperature should remain below 70°F for optimal diamond tool performance. Dress profiling wheels after every 20-30 linear feet of cutting to maintain profile accuracy.
Material Compatibility
The Elkay ECTRU15179 Crosstown 17 Bar Sink Cutout template works exceptionally well with natural granite, providing clean edges that polish to a high gloss. Marble is also compatible, though the softer stone requires reduced feed rates during CNC operations to prevent micro-chipping. Quartzite offers excellent results with this profile, as the hard mineral structure holds fine details well. Engineered quartz composites are ideal substrates, offering consistent material properties that produce predictable results. Soapstone and slate can be profiled using this template with appropriate tooling adjustments. For limestone, use conservative CNC parameters due to the stone's tendency to chip on detailed profiles. Porcelain sintered stone panels require specialized diamond tooling but produce excellent results with the elkay geometry.
