Quartz Fabrication Manual Rev. 1 Page 9 of 26 FABRICATION TIPS General Instructions for Cutting • Ensure that the work surface is in good condition so that the slab is not able to move during cutting. • Use blades and tools specifically designed for quartz. • Check the wear condition of the tools and replace them if damaged or worn. • Wet fabrication process must be used when cutting, routing, and finishing Wilsonart Quartz. Tools should be used with wet fabrication processes at all times • Always use safety toe work shoes • Always follow product, equipment and/or tool manufacturer’s recommendations and instructions carefully. Manual metal-arc welding Workshop testing of welds Miscellaneous fusion welding processes Workholding devices for fusion welding Resistance welding Further welding processes Exercises 12 Composite fabrication processes and adhesive bonding Introduction

However in some applications manual cleaning is used and depending on the quality of the cleaned surface they are categorised Most fabrication shops have a range of machines, which can form holes for connections in structural steelwork. The traditional drilling machine is the radial drill, a manually. Quartz Fabrication Manual Rev. 1 Page 10 of 26 FABRICATION TIPS Tips to Avoid Breakage • Trim the edges of the slab by 5/8 _ or more, starting from the longer sides. 1-Start from the longer sides 2-Then the shorter sides When cutting, if you note that the cut starts to close, before finishing it, insert a small wedge to keep it open. fabrication methods that do not apply to a certain product are stated with a short explanation and a recom-mendation for an alternative product that fits that application method. This manual also contains Appendix I which provides a Material Safety Data Sheet section. Appendix II includes an adhesives, fastening and storage guidelines section.
