Diamond Tools For Granite Fabricating

The back splash is usually made from the same granite used for the counters, but it can be ceramic tile, or some other stone or tile product. It may be attached to the counter or to the wall, but in either case the seam between the counter and the back splash will be sealed with caulk. The standard height for a back splash is 4-inches; although they can be made higher if that’s what’s desired. A high or tall back splash is sometimes used behind the kitchen range, stovetop or sink to protect the wall from grease and oil splattering or other stains. This may be adjusted to suit personal taste, but it should be decided before the template is made.

Granite can be cantilevered up to 14-inches; if it’s a large piece with sufficient support on the fixed end. It should never be cantilevered where it might receive excessive stress… such as where someone may be tempted to sit on it. In these cases of excessive stress, it must always be supported. It’s usually best to assume the worst and add proper support on any extension over 6″. An unsupported span of no more than 36-inches; is usually acceptable as long as the stone is supported on both sides of the span.

The Taurus 3 Tile Shaper Ring Saw is a high-quality, tile saw that makes precision-cutting possible and easier. This is a tile shaper ring saw that enables you to make straight or curved cuts on tile and stone with ease. You can even use it handheld like a jigsaw for intricate cutting. This saw can cut forward or backward… even sideways because there is diamond on all sides of the blade! These special 6″ blades deliver at least the same life span as a 7″ tile blade at the same price. The difference is, these blades have no center, and are driven from the outside delivering several advantages:

1) The ability to make straight or curved cuts.
2) Easily slice off the edge of your material. The blade remains stable and rigid without wandering.
3) The diamond coating is all around and over the blade, making forward, backward and side cutting possible.
4) You can use the same blade for all materials. There is no need to change blades.
5) The diamond blade will never glaze over, so there is no need to ever dress the blade.

This tile saw runs whisper quiet and since the blade goes through a water bath it does not make a mess like traditional tile saws do. The saw easily detaches from the waterpan/base so you can run it handheld - just like it was a jigsaw.

The DeWalt D24000 10 wet tile saw is the only wet saw on the market to offer 24” rip capacity and 18” capacity on diagonal with a total weight under 70 pounds. This saw comes with a 10″ tile blade and a special jig that is a reversible rip guide and a 45 degree flat angle guide. No bevel guide is necessary as the cutting head on this saw will swivel to either a 22 S or a 45 degree angle to do bevel cuts.

The cutting cart cantilevers off the front and back of the rails to offer impressive capacity without the need for a long water pan and rail system. The D24000 is light weight and has a compact water pan that makes it possible for one user to transport the saw into the work site in just 2 easy trips. The D24000’s rail system is attached to the saw frame to ensure accurate cuts without the need for daily set-up and calibration. The saw also boasts the best-in-class water containment made possible by an adjustable water nozzle system that delivers water to the point of the cut without creating a tremendous amount of mist. The large, detachable water trays catch water spray and spill-over on large tiles to capture the water and direct it back into the pan. The D24000 delivers innovation and practical features that make it the most versatile saw on the market. The integrated 45 degree and 22.5 degree bevel feature allows the user to make fast angled cuts without the need for an awkward and bulky 45 degree cart block. The head also plunges into the material, making pocket cuts quick and easy for AC registers and electrical outlets. All of these innovations and features exist to make the user more productive.
