How To Cut Out Sink In Butcher Block or Laminate Countertops 

Thought he was gonna whisk some eggs up with it !

First thing I tought😂

I have the same one, OG Black n Decker...doesn't get much love because of the milwaukee Cordless I have now

First thing I was thinking how old it looked now ima post my own comment tho to keep it going.

Awesome!

Any high quality blade will do.

Hi I recommend doing Watco Butcher Block Oil and finish. I applied it after installation and its held up great because it actually seals the wood so water doesn't penetrate. Another Popular option is doing cutting board oil and butcher block conditioner but that doesn't seal the wood as good and you have to reapply every few months.

we use Waterlox, it works and looks great

@@TimYorty did you use gloss

Thank you! They are butcher block countertops that i got from lumber liquidators

What color is it stained

I used caulk where the sink sits on the countertop

@@MJB.Construction thanks, I didn’t mean for that to sound like I was a “know-it-all” I’m doing a sink myself right now and was curious what people use. Thanks!!

my butcher block is 1.5" . Try a high quality blade and it should cut or rent a more powerful jigsaw

I think that reverse blades are recommended for the Formica or postformed laminate countertops in order to avoid chipping the laminate although most people tape the line of the cut to avoid splintering. Also recommended to support the cutout piece from underneath to avoid it dropping and tearing the laminate. Not needed on solid wood but her lock though.

No the faucet has plenty of room, It doesnt extend any wider than the sink and goes straight up

Waterlox is a food-grade sealer.

Ya it would be possible but it might be hard to get the round corners with it. Also make sure your blade is big enough to get all the way through

jig saws are very cheap it might be better to buy one/ borrow one

tape it down where you want it and use a pencil

The sink is a Tuscany 33x22

that is what happened to my kitchen counter the cutout 22 by 33 is and looks big on in my apartment wrote different and the one's at lowe's when I went the other day faucets feels would be far back right now with low arc with one handle in the middle

try a new blade or rent a more powerful one

Thank you.

use a circular saw for the straight sections of cuts. then you just have to deal with the corners. If you use a hole saw (like for door knobs) for the corners it makes a bigger hole and that means even less jig saw cuts.

throw it away and get a new one

Ya but that could kick back and wreck the counter top
