What tool is used to make a sink cutout in 2cm granite ?
I have been told to use a contour blade but I just don't get
it would work.

Thanks,
Curt

To install a new cooktop I had to enlarge the existing cutout in my 3/4"
granite countertop. I used a 4 1/2" angle grinder with a diamond masonry
disk. This worked like a charm. You will need a good quality respirator (not
a nuisance dust mask) and eye protection.

That's what I thought. So you don't cut it, you kinda grind it, huh ?
Thanks very much for your response.
