How do you cut granite worktops?

Answer:

Cutting Granite Worktops

There are several types of cutting methods and apparatus depending on what type of cut you need. Diamond tip blades are usually used for cutting sections of a granite countertop. There is also a method called "Waterjet" which involves a high pressure jet of water travelling across the stone and effectively slicing through the surface. Very intricate shapes can be cut through this process , but it can be a slow and expensive way. Jason MD Mistermarble www.mistermarble.co.uk
