For me, the second cut out looks a whole lot better. And the radii are spot on.
Laser templating has it's pitfalls if I'm honest. It's supposed to speed up the lead times between templating and fitting but it is subject to human error.
The best method is to use clear acrylic sheets whereby the positions of sink bowls can be clearly seen and for the templaters to take away the cut out diagrams with them.
The last job we did before Christmas was a fit only for us and the granite company were not one we have had much experience with. it was template with a laser and the templater spent half an hour taking pics of the sink dimensions from the MI's. They fitted the granite but when we came to install the sinks (a day later) we realised that they had only allowed for the bowl and not the tap so we had to bastardise the side gables of the base unit to receive the tap tails. We got around it as we always do but it took nearly half a day to fit a kitchen and utility sink.
Just to reiterate, the company we use "used to" fabricate on site but they always cleared up and hosed down their mess before leaving. Problem was their fitters were fabricating outside in all weathers which is ok in the summer but can be a bit demanding when its snowing or pissing down in the winter so they moved over to laser templating. Their lead times are 2-3 days between templating and fitting.
We've had practically no call backs from them and they are half the price of a lot of their competitors...and you can find their website at the top of the page in the advertisers box.
