Yeah, I'm pretty sure that nobody tries to cut granite on site with an angle grinder. It's so difficult because the material is so hard.
Granite countertops are typically cut off-site with a waterjet, which creates zero dust.
- rbanffy 3y agoI wonder why those parts are not made in the desired shape already with no need to cut or sand in place.
- NoGravitas 3y agoI assume it's because kitchens and bathrooms aren't made in standardized sizes to fit standardized counters.
- xxs 3y agoNo perfect walls (also changes w/ temperature/humidity), drilling holes, misalignment, imperfect measurements... Since it's a luxury but not a super expensive product, the more expensive process of precise measurement, off-site waterjet/laser cutting is not suitable.
