required tools

[j3ivy76]

I was wondering if i could get a list of all the tools and items I will need to perform a granite job at home.

I need to make a few straight cuts, do four seams , cut out for two or three sinks, drill holes for faucets , finish off and polish one edge of counter,attach a granite backsplash, and seal the stone. I think that I got every thing.

I just need to know all the materials I need so I can place an order, I plan on purchasing the dvd set and I would like to get every thing I need at one time so I don't have to place two orders and wait for materials after I watch the dvds.

If I could get some help it would be greatly appreciated and my business will definitely be with you, Thank you so much.

How thick is the stone and what edge design are you doing on it?

You should start with our tool package 1, with or without the variable speed grinder. If you have one get it without, but have one as you will need it!
Here is a link for that:

If you are doing undermount oval sinks you will need tool package 3. If you are not you will need a grinding drum and a core bit anyways. Here are those links:
