Don't believe the instructions

The kind of job oscillating tools were made for :-)

I've fitted a sink where I have reduced the recommended size of the cut-out. The manufacturers recommendation would have resulted in a relatively thin area of the worktop supporting the sink, and with zero wriggle room.

You know what they say. The bigger the mic (...)

A fair bit of butchery went on when I fitted an induction hob recently. They're a bit of a lump aren't they?

And at 50mm deep you'd not want it over a drawer.

Looks like it will be the full monty, jig saw to reduce the width of a piece at the top of the unit. The router to reduce the base unit sides and the multi tool to make a slot for the cable to slot through from behind. These things are sent to try us.

There are drawers below but will be well clear of the hob, I just need to find 10mm as the worktop is 40mm thick. The tops of the drawers are 30mm below worktop level so we are still talking of an air gap of 20mm.

Hey Ho! Richard

It's a shame isn't it, when it's in and it looks great, but you are haunted by what lies beneath :)

Perhaps the edge bits of the hob's underside are indeed only as deep as was suggested, but the central bits hang down deeper and the assumption was you'd install it centrally in a cupboard rather than over a join between cupboards?
