If you are renovating your home, you may consider redoing your kitchen. Part of this renovation might entail redoing your countertops. The sink is an integral part of your countertop design, and should be considered a focal point of your kitchen. Choosing a sink that matches your kitchen décor is important, as well as finding accompanying fixtures such as faucets, handles, sprayers and soap dispensers. When you choose a sink, you will need to install it. One of the most important parts of installation is cutting the holes you will need for the faucet and any other attachments. Here are the steps you should take to cut your sink with professional results.

  1. Fasten the sink. Stainless steel, in particular, can be tough to drill. Fasten the sink to a work bench or have a buddy hold the sink tight to a stable surface.
  2. Make a template. Regardless of the type of material your sink is, make a template for the cuts. You do not want to make a mistake. Take a piece of heavy draft paper (so it won't tear) and mark where you need your holes. Use the owner's manual for the attachments (faucet, sprayer, soap dispenser) for exact diameters.
  3. Make a dimple in the sink in the center of the hole. Use a hammer and a nail to create this small dent.
  4. Tape. To prevent the drill from "walking" as you drill, place a strip of masking tape over the dimple. This will keep your drill on target.
  5. cutting a hole in a sinkDrill. Using a heat treated 1¼ inch bit, drill a hole at the site of the dimple. It is very important that you drill at a slow speed (no more than 300 RPMs) and that you press down very hard as you drill....
