Kitchen Counter Top Over Hang?

I made my overhang so that it was slightly greater than the amount the cabinet handles projected, on the grounds that if I was manouevring a tall object like a fridge past the cabinets, there would be less of a chance of knocking into a handle etc. An arbitrary sort of criterion, but that's how I did it.

Not answering your question, but you may be able move the cabinets forward a bit so you end up with a deeper worktop, and avoid trimming the worktop.

(My worktop overhangs by about 30mm)

Personally I would like 70mm if I could have it: better for preventing drips etc. I suggest you go for whatever looks OK to you. However in one respect I am quite glad that when I refitted my kitchen last year, I ended up with only 20-30mm of overhang: the dishwasher cannot be pushed so far under the worktop as to allow the steam from its door when opened to attack the underside - instead it comes out into the open.

IMO that would definitely be a better answer if you have any drawer units otherwise the back bit of the drawer will be lost under the overhang.
