A Bevel Edge Bit For Solid Surface Sink Cutouts

The Amana Tool Lansen sink edge bit profiles the underside edge of a solid surface sink opening with a clean 11.5-degree bevel, leaving a finished beveled edge ready for undermount sink installation.

Key Features

• 11.5-degree bevel angle produces a consistent chamfered edge along the sink cutout perimeter.
• 1-3/16 inch cutting diameter with a 1-inch minimum cutting height sized for solid surface sink work.
• Designed for solid surface material in thicknesses from 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch.
• 2-flute geometry for smooth, controlled cuts in dense engineered surface material.
• 1/2 inch shank for use in a 1/2-inch router collet, providing stability on a full-depth pass.
• 3-1/8 inch overall length gives sufficient reach for edge profiling in standard solid surface countertop thickness.

What This Bit Does at the Sink Opening

Undermount sink installation in solid surface countertops requires a precisely finished cutout edge. A raw or square-cut edge at the opening is not suitable for bonding the sink to the underside of the counter, and a rough profile can telegraph through the adhesive joint. This bevel bit cuts the chamfer at the cutout perimeter that solid surface fabricators use to prepare the opening before the sink is bonded in place. The 11.5-degree bevel is the standard angle for this prep step in solid surface sink work, and the bit's geometry is purpose-built for that single task rather than adapted from a general-purpose chamfer bit.

Material and Construction

This is a solid surface bit, a category designed for the specific demands of cutting Corian, Avonite, Gibraltar, and comparable non-porous engineered surface materials. Solid surface cuts differently from wood laminate or natural stone: it is dense, abrasive to tooling, and unforgiving of a chattering or deflecting bit. The 2-flute design removes material in a controlled, even pass, and the 1/2-inch shank minimizes deflection during the cut. The bit handles material from 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick, which covers the standard solid surface countertop stock range.

Who Uses This Bit

This bit is for countertop fabricators and solid surface installers who cut and finish solid surface countertops in the field or in the shop. It suits a shop router table or a handheld router with a 1/2-inch collet. Solid surface work demands purpose-specific tooling: using a wood-rated bit on solid surface material produces a poor edge finish and shortens tool life. If you are setting up a dedicated solid surface workflow for kitchen sink installations, this bevel bit handles the cutout edge prep step, and pairing it with the companion profile bits in this line covers the full sequence of edge operations.

The Right Tool for a Clean Solid Surface Edge

When the sink opening needs a precise beveled edge before bonding, this Lansen bevel bit delivers the 11.5-degree chamfer that solid surface fabricators rely on to prep the cutout and set the sink correctly.
