In this episode of Cut This, Polish That, we put man vs machine in what can be one of the most labor-intensive areas of the shop: sink processing.
From dropping the sink to drilling anchor mounts, watch these fabrication methods – manual skill vs CNC automation – go head to head to see the difference in speed, labor required, and ease.
The Sink Fabrication Challenge
Park Industries’ SPARTAN Sink & Seam CNC Router races a skilled fabricator with 10+ years of experience. Watch a side-by-side comparison as both contestants cut and polish two sinks. There may even be a surprise or two.
A special shoutout to Maday for being our fabricator challenger in this battle!

What Does Sink Fabrication Really Cost?
Labor is one of the biggest costs in sink fabrication. Between cutting, shaping, and polishing, manual sink processing can quickly add up in both time and labor expenses.
To help fabricators understand the impact in their own shop, we created a Sink Machine Savings Calculator.
By entering a few simple details about your shop’s production, you can estimate the potential labor savings and efficiency gains from automating sink fabrication with a CNC.
Meet the SPARTAN
The SPARTAN Sink & Seam CNC Router was designed specifically to simplify and accelerate sink fabrication. With automated cutting and polishing, fabricators can produce consistent results while dramatically reducing the manual labor required for each sink.
Key benefits include:
- Produce more sinks with 95% less labor
- High-quality results with every sink
- Versatile capabilities: seams, drainboards, fluting & more
