Default top mount sink morphed into undermount - feasible?

The plan is to mount the sink on top of the cement board and butt the
tile to the edge of the sink flanges, making the surface nearly flush
between the 2. Only issue in this version is the rounded corners of
the sink flange. My thinking at the moment is to buy a diamond circle
cutter w/ the radius matching the sink corners.

Whadyathink?


Yes, I like that approach. I don't know the sink you have in mind, but
if it is any of the 'big' guys, like Blanco, they will have a .dxf
file on line which you can import into a basic drawing program.
Franke, Kohler all have similar files. Have it printed out 1:1..or
trace it directly from the sink.
Can abrasive cords be had for band saws? Know anybody with a stain-
glass shop? Those cats have saws which will make short order of your
needs...for a few bucks, or a couple of well-chosen vintages, they'll
cut stuff for people.

If the flange of your sink is thinner than the tile, you can easily
elevate the sink. I think it would look a bit better if the sink edge
was a bit proud of the tile...but as I said, don't know which sink
you're using.


This is a complex issue, far beyond the scope of a DIY attempt, IMHO.


Nah, I am always willing to stretch the limits. [snip]


For sure.. me too. That is FUN!

My style these days is: "Yup, can do." and then worry about it
later.G

Good luck!
