Hi,
I would like to know how do you cut the dust fact, what kind of system do you use. I’m setting a very small stone shop, two kitchens a week, any web sites

thank youLouie

I saw them play with Carl Perkins at one gig, and the Killer, Jerry lee Lewis at another. Watching Terry Adams and Jerry Lee riff off each other on dueling rockabilly pianos was one of the highlights of my concert life.
Remember the Wildweeds with Al Anderson? Good times, man, good times.September 15, 2012 at 1:37 pm #72914Andy GravesKeymasterIs it the noise from the grinder or noise from the grinding disc removing material on the granite?
I can’t imagine the actual grinder making that much noise by itself.
Why are you trying to reduce the noise?

However, given the glut of good used equipment you could get a used Cougar/Sierra bridge saw for about $15k and a used wizard for another $10k. I know from experience you can do 3-4 kitchens a week with 2 or 3 shop guys and do an exceptionally nice job on sink cutouts and curved edge profiles using templates and the wizard.
Either way you’ll spend another several thousand outfitting your install vehicle and buying the long list of various shop supplies.
