Sink Cutout Pack

The one cut in a kitchen you cannot undo

The sink's own template gives you the shape. It says nothing about whether the sink fits your cabinet, whether that corner radius is legal in your material, or whether the front rail needs reinforcing first — and those are the failures that cost a slab rather than an afternoon. This is the minimum inside corner radius for every common countertop (quartz 3/8in, natural stone 1/4in), the front-apron threshold below which a fabricator should rod the rail, which mounts each material can take — an undermount cannot go in laminate at all — the faucet and accessory holes to decide before anything is drilled, what actually carries an undermount, and the drain rules. 8 pages, printable, ending in a spec sheet you hand to the fabricator. Advisory: cut to the sink's own template, let a fabricator cut stone, confirm drain work against local code.

What is in it

• Smallest base cabinet for every sink width, and why 33in needs 36in
• The counter-depth limit that stops a 24in sink fitting a standard run
• Minimum inside corner radius by material — where cutout cracks start
• The front apron below which a stone shop should rod the rail
• Where the cut edge must be sealed, and where sealing does nothing
• What each mount demands, including why undermount and laminate never mix
• Undermount reveals: positive, flush and negative, and living with each
• Faucet layouts and spacings, and the accessory holes people forget
• What actually supports an undermount — and why adhesive does not
• Drain falls, and why steeper is not better
• The order of work, and the points of no return
• Fill-in cutout spec sheet for the fabricator

The pack complements the free calculators — they do the arithmetic, it carries the limits and the checks they cannot know.
