How To Profile & Polish Granite Countertop DIY

From http://www.toolocity.com this is a video on how to profile and polish granite countertop for Do-It-Yourselfers. We turned a piece of 1-1/4" granite with very rough edge into a beautifully polished 3/8" radius edge. This is part of a 26 minute video that demonstrated the following skills and techniques: 1. Grinding with turbo diamond cup wheel; 2. Straight cutting with grinder and diamond blade; 3. Creating radius profile with hand profiler; 4. Edge Polishing with dry diamond polishing pads; 5. Re-sharpening of glazed polishing pads; The video introduced different tools to be used for edge profiling and polishing, and unveiled the mystery surrounding 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.

I never saw anyone use a profiler without water.

Using water is recommended in order to extend life of the tool. You can use it without water though. Thanks for commenting.

don't you need hearing protection to do this kind of work??

[applieddiamondtools]

Preferably yes.

@alphabetical010 because there isn't diamonds in your polisher. the pads he uses have diamonds in then and they will scratch the top if he hits it with a pad. the grinder will not do any thing to it

What no hearing protection?

[bmunk75]

Where is your hearing protection. Listen folks, if your fabricator don't how to properly take care of himself, how much thought is he putting into your house? I've been fabricating and installing granite for 8 years now, and that's one of the 3 layers of protection...eyes, ears, and lungs.
