I just followed your instructions exactly and it came out perfect. I'm relieved I haven't ruined £180 worth of worktop - thank you!
Great upload. I'm fitting my own kitchen today and this has really given me the confidence to have a go at putting the sink in. Thanks.

Great tip with the spade bit!
A good idea is to paint the inside of the cut worktop with an acrylic or oil based paint. If there is an ingress of water and the exposed inner worktop is not sealed, it could start to expand.

It will definitely expand over time.
It isn't done and dusted until you fix the clips in place - especially fun where you cut the base unit to fit the bowl. I have found that the clips supplied will need their own cut-out in the worktop (usuall 2-3mm) to enable the thickness of the clip to be accomodated. also on the thicker worktops longer screws may be needed for the clips. Its important to use EVERY clip position on the sink flange to ensure no leaks - I find that "pros" often leave out several clips if they are difficult to get at.

Thanks for the upload and great tip on the spade bit 👍
A few more tips to add to an already comprehensive video - 1 Once the cutout's been done, fit the sink into the worktop via its clamping clips before you fix the worktops down, it's much easier than trying to do it lying on your back inside a cabinet. 2 - Same goes for the tap, overflow and waste plug/strainer - fit them in advance. Make sure your tap is nice and tight via the fixing nuts which are supplied, as these are often difficult to access for tightening if they become loose at some point in the future. Same goes for the flexi hoses for your hot and cold water. 3 - You'll sometimes find that when you've done the above and you put the sink back in its cutout, the sink clips catch on top of the cabinet, lifting the worktop slightly. If this happens, use a chisel just to take shallow notches out of the cabinet top until the worktop sits totally flat on the cabinet.

Very useful tips - thanks.
no mention that half the time the clips to tighten the sink down do not fall within the easy access area and extra routing is needed
The best instruction video I have seen.
Very good information Very easy to understand 👍
that's the most informative video I've seen on this subject
Watching videos on how to cut the hole out for my sink.. Great video thank you 😊
This is a very useful video. Step by step demo for my second kitchen but first re-using the sink which has no template available. Thank you Yves.
Really helpful this mate thank you
Great job, well done!
The best video@! Thank you.
sink clips lift the worktop off the unit? do i have to notch out for them as well so it sits flat again? and if so whats the best way to do this? thanks really good video
easier-said-than-done love it
Lovely job, thanks for sharing 👍🏿
Very detail instructions
Great video, thanks
Hi. Ready to cut out my new sink tomorrow? Would you recommend the standard sink clamps to fasten this to the work top or use silicone?

Did you end up just using silicone instead and not bothering with clips? I used clips last time I fitted a sink and it was very awkward to do. I’m hoping to get away from using the clips next time.
Usual dimensions are 50 to 60 millimeters (5-6 cm) from the front edge. Cut the hole 10 mm (1 cm) smaller all around.
How does the jigsaw blade avoid bashing into the wood frame underneath?
mulțumesc pentru videoclipul util
Sink manufacturers should just add the exact template one needs to cut out, all one should have to do is position template accurately and cut out around it!

Most sinks include them now
What about the lack of support at the front of the sink? Is that not a weak spot now youve cut into the support bar?
Nice job. Try drill the holes from the top and then as the point comes through the work top remove and gently drill upwards to prevent break out.
Great vid... thanks💪
very complete video,thanks
Nice very good
You don’t show how clips are going in. Especially onto that section where the cut out is basically flush with the unit’s back wall. I’d love to see how you do that
Great video..
Well the problem with most "do it this way" videos is they show an ideal case and the "easy" bits! In the real world the sink has to be fitted when the worktops have been mitred and fixed in position- you can't do this after fitting your sink - and the sink seal and fixing clips aren't mentioned. The drill was on hammer action to drill the starting holes for the jigsaw - and you only need holes in two corners - think about it! Otherwise a good clear presentation - better than most!

Got the basic stuff right , but forgot sealing the cut edges of the worktop cut out !!
very good, thank you
Cute and accurate
nice one
Thanks
Great video. Well done.
Why not lay out masking tape first slightly bigger than the sink outline, then mark everything (sink profile and cutting profile) on it?
very good job I like it

Great, glad you found it useful : )
A simple job, thts gonna take 4 hours. By the time youve sealed the worktop fastened down the sink, fitted taps and waste, and then plumb into existing hot/cold and waste pipes.
Thank you.
Do one with granite counter top
Good
Does anybody have problems with jigsaw blades wearing down when a worktop is cut from the underneath?
good job
Can I use a regular 4 inch grinder to make the cut?
its not done yet caulk or silicon sealant should be used or water will get inside the cabinet
Back in my days we didn't have the luxuries of internet or KZread, we had to use our brains, we had to have a high level of understanding by sight and the common sense to know what problems and dangers would be expected if the job wasn't carried out correctly unlike today 2019. 2012 is when you uploaded your video but you also gave advice on how to fuck-up on a inset sink fitting which explains why through the years so many second rate jobs and DIY jobs have caused so many problems and second rate workers. Your video is not how to fit a sink but how to do the cut out for the sink, the cut out and fitting a sink are 2 different facts also, your explanation and demonstration lacks details as to fitting a sink the most basic part of the job. My advice to people like you is understand details before giving advice to the people that don't know how to do these jobs, that fact alone is in the ending of your video when you set the sink into the cut out saying done and dusted, far from was it done and dusted, maybe in future you'll mention the sink seal and the clamping of the sink.

Great so where's your video buddy? Oh your didn't make one, just came here to bitch about a guy that took time out to help others. Suggest put your energy into something positive.
No fair! I never saw a reptile! When somebody promises a "skink" they should deliver! Seriously, I'm getting ready to make upgrades in my kitchen but I'm doing granite countertops.
You dropped the sink in but what about the caulking and clips?
Carrying a worktop with a large hole in it could be problematic. Fitting and fixing the sink would make it stronger. Most cabinets for sinks do not have a top in them. Nice video.
your the best, xd xd

Well, you say that, but you've not actually installed it, as per the video title would suggest. What about undercounter seal and clips? Protection for the cut edges in the worktop and base unit? Preparation for taps and waste trap? Taps and waste fitting? You say it's easy, but that's probably because you've forgotten about all the additional work required to do a good job. Anything is "easy" if you ignore half the details. You could solve this very easily. Change the video title to "How to cut worktop for sinks and appliances".
