How to cut Cosentino Dekton
Cosentino Dekton is a unique material that has increasingly gained ground for the production of durable kitchen tops. In fact, it is a material that is highly resistant to scratches, stains and heat. It is precisely the resistance and hardness of this material that requires powerful machinery and specific tools for processing and installation. The vast majority of marble workers today work large Dekton slabs with their bridge saws, CNC or waterjet. However, the error that leads to the breakage of the slab is always around the corner. In this article, we will try to summarize the tips and tricks for processing Cosentino Dekton.
Handling of Dekton slabs
Handling Dekton slabs requires special attention. When transporting or placing the material on the workbench you need to pay attention to these very important details. These tips could avoid unpleasant rubbing of the material that risks being laid ruined or even broken.

- Protect the edges with polystyrene, plastic or wooden strips
- use the maximum hook for two plates
- Use protected hooks to avoid rubbing or chipping
- make sure your transport belts are up to standard.
In addition to these useful tips, we will now analyze some important information for cutting Dekton slabs.
Dekton Cosentino Cutting Equipment
Just like the handling, the processing phase also requires the right machinery and equipment. The machinery needed for cutting and processing Dekton slabs are the following:
- CNC bridge saws
For the cutting phase in particular, it is essential that the workbench is level and suitable for the material itself. We will not enter into the field of the type of material because we would have to open a non-constructive debate. However, it is essential to consider that for cuttings on smaller pieces it is essential to secure the piece to the cutting surface.
Preparation for cutting Dekton slabs
Before performing the cutting phase of the treated material, some precautions must be taken. Naturally, the cutting bench must be clean and free of debris from previous processes. A thorough cleaning of the work surface could really be a fundamental variable for the success of the process. Remove the protective film from the slab, subsequently the marble workers recommend attaching the material label to the production and order sheet. In fact, this label contains the production batch number of the Dekton slab and is therefore essential for the guarantee. In addition to this, it will allow you to have trace of the production status.
Tips for using bridge saws for cutting dekton
It is essential to start the working phase by wearing all the required and necessary PPE. This will guarantee the professional the maximum possible safety. The jet of water that is usually directed on the slab, in this case, the manufacturer of Dekton itself, recommends directing it on the diamond disk. In this way the lubrication during the cutting phase will be accentuated and guarantee a constant purging of the cut material. Obviously the water must be clean without debris and mud attached.

Tips for working with Cosentino Dekton
We have decided to share with you some tricks of the trade learned from expert producers of Dekton kitchen tops. One operation, for example, that is never done but is really essential is to make sure that the back of the Cosenza Dekton slab is clean of warehouse or storage debris. It is precisely these remnants that create a lethal difference in level once the slab is mounted on the workbench. Cosenza Dekton slabs are often very tense. To prevent too much tension from creating cracks during cutting, it is advisable to cut at least 1.5 cm around the entire perimeter of the slab. During this pre-cut, reduce the feed speed by 30% and make sure that the cutting head is less than 200 mm from both edges of the slab. When the cutting head exceeds 200 mm you can proceed with a cutting speed of 100%. The indications given on the diamond disc are not approximate and must absolutely be followed to the letter. The disc revolutions, the speed of advancement are fundamental aspects in the processing of Cosenza Dekton. For this reason we recommend that you always follow the instructions given, both for the correct use of the diamond disc for Cosenza Dekton and for the success of the processing.
