wood worktop

When cutting a cutout for a 1 & 1/2 sink is it better to cut for each bowl or treat them as one? I tried to get a local firm to cut it but they didn't want to do such a small job, they wanted to fit my whole kitchen

Treat them as one. Did you not get a template with the sink?

Usually you can just flip the sink, position it ,draw round it then cut 10mm inside the line. Be careful as some, if not most sinks need round corners in the cut out. If cut square the sink might not cover

As above but i use masking tape to draw the pencil line on and also save the marks sometimes shown on the nice new worktop that a jigsaw can leave behind.

another option is to draw around sink on mdf then play around with it until you get a shape you like, jigsaw it out sand the edges and then use a bearing guided router bit, to copy onto the worktop.

you could also make up circle cutting jg for the router to make the sides perfectly circular.
