The stuff cuts pretty easily with a diamond wheel in a circular saw
and you can round off the corners with a cup wheel in a side grinder.
It is all in how much patience you have and how much attention you
have to detail. I got wild with one side on this piece so I will have
more work to do with the 100 pad because I have some rougher than
necessary spots. It is sort of like welding. I really should have
practiced a little before I started. You need to have the touch when
you are doing this with hand held tools. The rest actually came out
pretty nice.

I would not have started on this but someone gave me a bunch of
granite and I decided I would learn how to do it. It is actually
pretty rewarding when a piece comes out nice and the price is right.
EuroAsia in Miami has all of the diamond wheels and pads if you have
the tools to spin them up. I have about 2 hours in that "rough" and it
will be about 2 more hours to finish it up and set it.
You pay about $20-25 an hour for the finishing and installation over
the cost of the material, which is actually pretty cheap.

Well, maybe it's just my turn to help the economy and job market! If someone gave me the stuff, that
would be a different story. But I don't see that happening. Oh well.
