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.
