    Your best bet to eliminate the dust in a granite shop is to cut wet. It is a little more hassle but will protect the workers and lengthen the life of your tools.

    Ear protection is an absolute must for the fabricators.

    Good Lord, man! That brought me back. Every New Years eve they would play at the Agora West Hartford. What a show! 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.

    Is 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?

    2 kitchens a week can be done by hand with a Sector or similar hand router and a rail saw.  you’ll have $10 – $20k in this option plus install stuff, hand grinders, adhesives, tooling, and a hoist of other stuff.

    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.
