    Woow, great idea for cutting small holes! I watched many ideas on RUclips but only you saw that small holes can also be cut with an angle grinder with a standard disc size! Thanks a lot!

    Sometimes I like the way I do things, but I just do it your way, anyways. Cause there's nothing you don't do to exact spec. Makes life easier.

I was told that i should drill a hole and use a jigsaw with a stone blade but i'll be honest im nervous as from what my manufactuers told me they shattered my original one while leveling it so if i use a jigsaw is there a chance my countertop will shatter? is there a better way?

    I hope everyone takes Sal's advice to never remove the grinding wheel guard and to take all safety precautions, like wearing a dust mask, ear muffs and safety googles, just as I'm sure Sal was, even though we couldn't see his face during the grinding etc.
