This is a video on how to profile and polish granite countertop for Do-It-Yourselfers. We turned a piece of 3 cm (1-1/4") granite with very rough edge into a beautifully polished 3/8" radius edge.

In this 26 minute video, Buren Smith, our 25-year veteran stone fabricator, demonstrates the following skills and techniques:

1. Safety Products for your protection;
2. Using variable speed angle grinder;
3. Grinding with turbo diamond cup wheel;
4. Straight cutting with turbo diamond blade;
5. Creating radius profile with hand profiler;
6. Edge Polishing with dry diamond polishing pads;
7. Re-sharpening of glazed polishing pads;

The video introduces different tools to be used for edge profiling and polishing, and unveils the mystery of granite fabrication. You will surely find this video very informational and instructive if you ever want to tackle such a project that has seemed to be mission impossible before.

Compared to Alpha's video, this video is more detail oriented, and uses "smaller", affordable tools for do-it-yourselfers.
