Jabelone - in answer to your question, yes, you can find sinks that are not Zero radius, but still have a small radius so that you get the modern square look, but with just a slight roundness to eliminate the cleaning issue; look for anywhere from 5 mm to 25 mm corners--still a pretty square corner, just not zero. Here are a few: Kraus 16-gauge sink with 19 mm corners Gorgeous Ticor Apron Front Stainless Steel 16-gauge sink - they use the term "tight radius" Elkay Avado 16-gauge 15 mm radius corners (they make several, look for the letters EFRU in model number) Elkay Gourmet Elumina sink with more rounded corners of 57 mm, and with corner drain

We too have a zero radius Julien 10" deep and I'm 5 foot on the nose. It is fine for me and my husband who stands at 5'8". We too got the grid and love that too. I have no problem reaching down into the sink and moving around inside it; in fact, I prefer it rather than on the counter as it saves my triceps at times & keeps messes on the counter to a minimum. The angle just feels better. (I'm sure it does not help that I am completely out of shape!) Initially, I really thought ten inches was overkill, but now that it is in my kitchen and functions so much better than any I could have imagined, I would not do without it now. One of my favorite choices to date. And the quality of the material is second to none; well worth the price and wait time. And thanks to GW for turning me on to this awesome hunk of metal -

A lot depends on the sink. I don't feel it should be centered in the cabinet. I like sinks pulled forward in the cabinet as much as possible for two reasons. First, less leaning in and more comfortable use. Second, it leaves more space in back. But this is something the fabricator often decides automatically unless it is discussed in advance. And if the counter is stone it can require more delicate templating -- something to inquire about/discuss when they come to template. I have stainless counters so when he came to template I actually had the faucet on hand and we were able to hold it up and see where it should go. Then you can have your calculations at hand but make adjustments at the critical time. That's best case but not everyone can be there. Also, I don't assume counter over hang because it depends on the style, material and fabrication. Some counters have overhangs and some will be flush with the front of the cabinets -- though I don't feel that's most desirable -- and yet modern kitchens may have that. Another point to discuss. Again, with mine, the KD wanted more overhang than I did and I had her pull it back to 1/2-inch. So, what I'd do -- and maybe you've done this already -- is get the spec sheets for the sink you want and the spec sheets for each faucet you're considering. There was a similar thread by sparkling water where I posted those (link is below) and walked through key issues for each. You can see what you think. Measurement formula basically is drain center to inside edge of sink + additional width of exterior sink flange/clips+ setback 2-3" usually (but that depends) + half the diameter of the faucet. I don't worry about the back or the tile thickness unless I was going with very thick 3 dimensional tile or they are building out the wall for some reason. As a rule -- just a guideline -- there should be around 5+ inches in back but that can vary with how the sink is positioned. I pay attention to that as not all cabinets are made the same way. And the sink needs to rest on the frame, of course. If the spout is lined up with the drain (it needn't be dead center) splashing is usually eliminated. But, some faucets don't splash even if they aren't lined up. The deeper the sink, the less splashing unless the water hits something. Splashing also can be a function of the flow rate -- how many gallons per minute the faucet handles and how much water pressure a house has. In the other thread, there was a difference in that among the various faucets. Flow rate also is noted on the faucet spec sheet -- something to consider. This would not be as knotty if more showrooms had the faucets hooked up and functional. One look that way is worth hours of time!! After typing this, I started a thread to compile a smart list of showrooms across the country that offer working faucets.

On the Kohler page. I've cut and paste from the page (link below). The KOHLER Strive undermount sink is available in five configurations; each with accessories included, and features 10-millimeter corner radii for easy cleaning and nine-inch basin depth for soaking and cleaning large cookware. As an installation benefit, the 10-millimeter radii allow for easier counter cutting in comparison to sharper corner radii. The Strive family of sinks is constructed of 16 gauge stainless steel, a thicker, more durable gauge than many others at this price point. Here is a link that might be useful: hohler Strive
