A flush fit depends on an evenly deep recess all around the cut-out. GADIA Router recesses the edge wet on the Contour Cat, with recesses up to 20 mm wide; GADIA Edge 45° chamfers the top and bottom edge of the cut-out without you turning the slab.

Working the recess freehand with an angle grinder or wood router gives you no reference for an even depth on stone. If the rim stands proud in one place or sits lower in another, the appliance is no longer flush – and the error only shows when it is fitted.
The cut-out creates webs “at risk of breaking”; the BIV guideline calls for a minimum web width of 50 mm1. Turning a large worktop with a cut-out just for the bottom chamfer is hard work and a breakage risk.
The chamfers on the top and bottom edge of the cut-out are often only a few millimetres wide and have to run evenly all the way round. Freehand with a small grinding tool, their width easily varies.
Cut-out, recess and joint width are given in the sink or hob manufacturer’s installation plan – set the cut-out and the GADIA Router milling depth accordingly.
Cut the straight sides of the cut-out wet and guided with the Wetcut 180 on the GADIA Line guide rail – three red markers show the cutting line and cut edges even when the blade is covered. For cut-outs with a PGS 50, PGS 60 or SHARKY, diamond jigsaw blades are still available.
GADIA Router is an end mill system for recessing edges: shank with guide ring (M14 female x M10 female) and plunge cutter Ø 20/16 x 7 mm. Recesses up to 20 mm wide are made easily and accurately – wet, on the Contour Cat KS 80 or KS 80 BL. Set the depth according to the appliance’s installation drawing.
GADIA Edge 45° mills 45° chamfers on the top and bottom of the cut-out without turning the workpiece over – particularly suitable for chamfers up to 5 mm wide. First the coarse cutter (G50), then the fine one (G100); three guide ring sizes make best use of the grinding surface on narrow chamfers, the central water feed keeps a clear view of the edge.
If the cut-out edge stays visible, for example with an undermount sink, polish it with the Contour Cat and GADIA Cyli through the grit sequence – according to the operating instructions the Contour Cat is particularly suited to polishing washbasins, stairs, tables and counters.
Both GADIA systems fit the Contour Cat KS 80 and KS 80 BL. Which machine you choose depends on the motor.

Undermounted, top-mounted or flush: around the sink and hob, the edge, chamfer and joint are in view and under the hand. Even chamfers and a recess of constant depth make the difference.
