‘FALSE’ REBATE BELOW 20mm (13/16”) material:
This is where the rebate is being “created” using a second material below. The upper hole now becomes the
Master Cut in the worktop material. So 10/16” needs to be added to both the A and B dims above to allow the
collar to pass through that hole to sit on the second material below.
Cut-outs for the UPPER MATERIAL for this method are:
It is the LOWER material that uses the Standard Dimensions A x B for the collar to sit on ↓
After either of the above rebate creation methods has been completed,
the new top can now be created.
This should be carefully made to “marry” neatly with the upper rebate dimension.
Top requires correct radius (slightly less than the hole) and a gap of 1/16” all way round to ensure clearance.
As a guide: TOP DIMENSIONS = 4 ¼ x 8 ¾ (2-port MINI TR)
= 5 + 1/16” x 17 ¼“ (STORAGE-TYPE BOXES)
STAGE 3 (Re-weighting the counterbalance)
The new top will be heavier than the standard stainless steel one it is replacing, so the internal counterweight
box will firstly require some of the weights (provided) adding to it, to re-instate the correct “lift”.
To do this, place the new top temporarily where the SS one used to be: ↓
Then open the front plate as shown below: ↓
Info:
These fixings are
T20 star screws >
You can now add the required amount of extra weight into the recess, until you are happy
with its pace of lift (ahead of the new top being added more permanently later)
(Storage unit weights look like this)
