Hi all I have some granite to lay and was wondering which diamond blade people recommend. I have a small plusplugs wetcutter but found when I did some travertine last week my angle grinder was better so think i might use this method again but not sure a normal diamond blade will be up for the job. thanks for any advise Steve | ||||||||||

And if you're doing granite then dont forget your drill bits for the holes.   If you drill outside stick a bucket on a hosepipe to hold it in situ. Then drill your hole....  And Bobs your uncle! | ||||||||||

Get a Rubi blade if you are wet cutting (breeze through granite) or if you are dry cutting throw a norton blade on the angle grinder (can get from screwfix, brilliant blade). Both cut much better than the Marcrist, no effort needed atall. | ||||||||||
