You have to do a video of your set up right here, The way you used a engine lift to help is genius i love it! how do you drop the granite into place? is there. lever or something, i really want to know i’m curious to start my side business this way too! *Granite installer of 5 years
Sorry for late response. Working on the next build series of the lake house tear down and rebuild. Coming out in about 2 weeks. Once you lift the granite with the engine lift I move it to the rolling cart for use later. I can then pick it back up with the lift and move it to the tilt table in the vertical position and then lower it into the horizontal position so I can then work on it. Hope I answered your question.
What blade did you use? Do you think using a circular saw will work for a one-off project? I picked up a massive kitchens worth of granite already cut correctly to width with polished edges, etc. I just need to make a few small length wise cuts and cut a hole for a stove to install in my much smaller kitchen. I am wondering the most cost-effective way to do it.
Sounds like a great deal. The link to the blades that I have used in a 7" circular saw in the past is below. It will cut wet and dry. Be careful is using wet because the saw is not rated for use with water and electricity. A least plug into a GFI circuit. If done dry, make sure to use a mask. You can also just use a diamond tip blade from Home Depot. It should last to make the cuts for your kitchen depending on how many. You will also have to put painters tape down where the saw bottom will ride on the granite because the bottom will mark up the top of the granite. Hope this helps. Coming soon is a lake cottage tear down and rebuild. www.bbindustriesllc.com/talon-ax-turbo-granite-blades.html
The saw is the Flex CS 40 Wet. The program that I use is Sketchup. It is the free online version. Just search it and you will see the free version. Thanks!!
Dude,this is insane What do you mean DIY ? That slab weighs at least 1,000 lbs Where the helpers at Where the forklift , boom and slab clamp at ? This is ridiculous No disrespect
I have always pushed the DIY to the limits. I have build 8 house in the last 23 years mostly by myself and as a part time gig. Mostly nights and weekends. When I saw what they wanted to charge for the granite that I wanted, I dove in, did the research and did it. After doing 8 kitchens with granite, I decided to do a youtube video. I have been a teacher for 27 years and wanted to share the knowledge that I had learned. It is not for everybody and can be dangerous. That is why I put the disclaimer in. You have to put safety first and think everything through before you do it.
Can you make a video on the tile table and gentry set up you have?

Are you cutting through the tape? Or alongside the tape?
I am cutting through the tape. I use the tape to help prevent scratching and chipping of the granite when I do a seam cut. Hope this helps.
Beautiful❤💙❤💙
Thank you! 😊

How much oil capacity please?
Hi. I am not sure of the question. We do not use any oil.
Where did you get the straight edge?
I believe I bought it at Home Depot. I bought it many years ago so I am not for sure.
