I saw diamond blade sale at local hardware store. It is for concrete, marble, tile, ceramic, and soft stone material. Is this blade suitable for granite? what is the different?

Probably not. All the blades coming in from china say that. It may cut it but it won't be clean and it won't be fast. These blades have a tendency to be too hard of a metal bond so the blades do not cut freely. If you want a cheapo blade go to Home Depot. The sticker will say the same thing and the 7" blades are around $15 each but they stink when used on natural stone.
