Before rounding the opening in the countertop, make
sure the depth of the router bit is adjusted to allow the
bearing to ride against the sink, just below the seam.
Set the depth of the router bit to avoid cutting into the
top surface of the countertop, causing an unsightly
groove. To avoid damage to the sink and countertop, do
not cut against the rotation of the router bit (from right to
left), and do not allow the router bit bearing to travel into
the sink drain overflow opening.
8.
Round over the opening in the countertop.
a.
Start the router and move it until the roller
bearing contacts the inside surface of the sink.
b.
Carefully guide the router, cutting from left to
right, while keeping the router level and firmly
against the upper surface of the countertop.
Keep the bearing in light contact with the sink,
just under the seam.
c.
Make a second pass with the router, cutting from
left to right, to ensure that all excess vanity top
material has been removed.
d.
Vacuum the shavings from the sink and wipe
away any dust before continuing.
Note
: Marks on the sink caused by the router bit
bearing will be removed during the sanding process in a
later section.
Finish Sand Sink and Countertop
With the sink opening cut into the countertop, the sanding
process will remove excess adhesive, blend the edges,
and give the Swanstone a uniform, finished appearance.
Sanding the Swanstone to achieve a smooth even finish
is a three step process using 120, 220, and 320 grit
sandpaper and a palm sander. Scotchbrite pads can be
used in place of the 320 grit sandpaper, if desired.
To avoid damaging the Swanstone surfaces, always
remove sanding dust and wipe all surfaces with
denatured alcohol and a clean cloth between sanding
with each grade (grit) of sandpaper. This will ensure a
smooth, even finish on the Swanstone surfaces.
