The document provides instructions and guidelines for measuring and cutting countertops, including tools needed, standard measurements for sinks, cooktops, and other fixtures, and how to ensure accurate cuts for corners, notches, radiuses, and other special configurations. Key details include measuring diagonally to check for true 90 degree corners, adding 10-3/8 inches to front measurements to calculate back cuts for standard 22-1/2 degree miters, and always measuring from a wall side to the centerline of fixtures like sinks and cooktops. Templates are required for non-standard cuts.

PLEASE NOTE: ANY CUT THAT IS NOT 22-1/2, 45 OR 90 DEGREES REQUIRES A
TEMPLATE AND A TEMPLATE CHARGE.

NOTE: WHEN MEASURING FOR AN “L” SHAPED TOP, FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW TO INSURE
THAT IT IS A TRUE 90 DEGREE CORNER.
1. FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CORNER, MEASURE OUT 36” TO YOUR LEFT AND MAKE A MARK.
2. FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CORNER MEASURE OUT 48” TO YOUR RIGHT AND MAKE A MARK.
3. MEASURE DIAGONALLY ACROSS FROM MARK TO MARK 48” : IF THIS MEASURMENT
EQUALS 60”, THEN THIS CORNER IS A TRUE 90 DEGREES. (45 PLUS 45 = 90)

PLEASE NOTE: ON A STANDARD 22-1/2 DEGREE MITER USE THE FOLLOWING TO INSURE THAT THIS IS A
TRUE 22-1/2 DEGREE MITER.
(You must have the front and back measurements to perform this test.)
EXAMPLE: ON A STANDARD KITCHEN TOP MEASUREMENT (D) PLUS 10-3/8” = MEASUREMENT (A).
ON A STANDARD KITCHEN TOP YOU ADD 10-3/8” PER CUT TO THE FRONT MEASUREMENT TO GET THE BACK
DIMENSION.
IF MEASUREMENT (D) IS 40”, THIS MEANS (A) SHOULD BE 50-3/8”, IF IT IS ANYTHING ELSE, IT IS NOT A TRUE
22-1/2 AND WE MUST HAVE A TEMPLATE.
(A) = (D) PLUS 10- 3/8”
(B) = (E) PLUS 10-3/8” PLUS 10-38” (you add twice because you have 2 cuts)

SINGLE SINK SIZE 20X17 19X19
HOLE SIZE 19X16 18X18
NOTE: THESE ARE THE ONLY SINK TEMPLATES THAT WE KEEP --- FOR ALL OTHER SIZES WE
WILL NEED A SINK TEMPLATE AND WILL REQUIRE A NON-STANDARD SINK CUT OUT CHARGE.
FOR A SINK CUT-OUT, WE MUST HAVE THE SINK
CENTERLINE. IF POSSIBLE, ALWAYS MEASURE
FROM A WALL SIDE OF THE PROPOSED TOP TO THE
CENTER OF WHERE THE SINK WILL BE.

PLEASE NOTE: FOR COOK-TOP CUT-OUTS WE MUST HAVE A HOLE SIZE OR A TEMPLATE.
THERE ARE TOO MANY MANUFACTURES AND MODELS TO GO BY MODEL NUMBERS
ALONE.
AS WITH A SINK CUT OUT -- WE MUST HAVE THE CENTERLINE MEASUREMENT - ALWAYS
TRY TO MEASURE FROM A WALL SIDE OF THE PROPOSED COUNTERTOP.

PLEASE NOTE: TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE CABINET IS
NOT EXPOSED UNDERNEATH THE TOP -- MAKE SURE THAT
YOUR ARCH STARTS PAST THE CABINET END.
3” MINIMUM ON ARCH RADIUS UP TO 1” INCH MINUS ½ THE WIDTH OF THE BAR TOP.
EXAMPLES:
26” BAR TOP ----- 12” MAX
30” BAR TOP ----- 14” MAX
36” BAR TOP ----- 17” MAX
