Cutting granite countertops requires specialized tools and techniques to ensure a clean, precise cut. Granite is an extremely hard and durable material, so it’s important to use the right tools for the job. There are two main methods for cutting granite countertops: wet cutting and dry cutting. Wet cutting uses a water-cooled diamond blade to cut through the granite, while dry cutting uses a diamond blade without water. Wet cutting is generally preferred because it produces a cleaner cut and reduces dust, but it can be more time-consuming than dry cutting.
Once you have chosen a cutting method, you will need to mark the granite where you want to cut it. Use a measuring tape and a pencil or chalk to mark the cut line. If you are using a wet saw, you will need to set up the saw and fill it with water. If you are using a dry saw, you will need to attach the diamond blade to the saw and adjust the blade height.
