Cutting Granite Tile

Woodcrafter74

I'm building a bar this week and the client wants me to use granite 12x12" tiles for the countertop. The tiles are 3/8" thick. Will they cut okay with a wet saw, or do I need something else?

Thanks.

Wet saw is fine, but use a good quality blade like Bosch

There is a company called Diamond Blade Warehouse that makes wet saw blades specifically for cutting granite.

They called me and offered to send out free blades to us to test out.

Then we got 3 other phone calls offering same deal, to test out free blades and return within a month if not wanted.
Hey, free blades til summer sounds cool with me.
