I am installing a bathroom vanity top and I just realized it is 1.5″ to long for the space. What is the best way for me to cut it down by 1.5 inches. What tools should I use and are there any tips or special techniques you would recommend? - Walt

You can try to cut the vanity top yourself but you will need a steady hand. You will need to rent or buy a Small 4″ Grinder from a nearby HomeDepot or Lowes and also a 4″ diamond blade(Called a Tile or Stone Cutting Blade). It should look like steel with small diamonds embedded in it. An easier plan might be mark the line where you want it cut with tape and then take it to a small granite company nearby and ask them if they will cut it down for cash (maybe $15 or $20, I would assume). This is very simple for them to do and as long as you have it marked, they will not feel that it is too much trouble.

Best wishes,
Tom Cordova
