1. Place the sink cut-out template on the
countertop, where the sink is to be installed.
Trace around the outside perimeter with a pencil
(Figure 1).
2. After tracing, remove the template. Use a
straight edge if necessary to straighten out the
traced outline. Use a drill with a 7/8” spade bit
to drill four pilot holes, one in each corner inside
the outline. These holes will be your starting
points for sawing the hole, so they must be large
enough to fit the blade of a jig saw or keyhole
saw.
3. Cut the hole for the sink, using a jig saw to cut
along the outline between each hole (Figure 2).
