I'm sure that we can all agree that the act of making a hole in stone for an undermount, self-rimming or vessel sink is pretty much a straightforward process. What gets my cookies fried is when the sink cutout is done wrong, and has to be done again. I absolutely hate doing something twice (that should have been done only once).
In the time that I served my country in the military, I learned the motto of “One Shot -- One Kill†that is the vanguard of the U.S. Army Sniper School. I think a modified version can be applied to sink cutouts: “One Sink -- One Hole.†With that said, I not only want to review the different methods that are popular in making a sink cutout, but additionally, I want to review some stop-gap type processes that fabricators should be doing to ensure that they are only doing the sink cutout once.
