Cutting Granite With A Circular Saw And Diamond Blade
This video shows how I used a 7 1/4" circular saw with a diamond blade and created a bracket to feed water to the blade for cooling and dust reduction to cut granite for a counter top. The water is fed through a siphon to the front of the blade which greatly improves cutting capability.

I thin your water supply method is one of the best DYIs I’ve seen in years. Great job.
Experienced saw user here. You made this look too easy! I've been using a nearly identical method over the last few days, and it didn't go nearly as well. After several cuts, I'm pretty sure now that my blade was bad. I had to take the 1.25" slab in three cuts, and even still, the deck lifted and the motor strained at a snail's pace. I also think that the saw I used held the blade so that it was not perfectly parallel to the fence, and so my last cut ended up going off nearly an eighth. If I were to advise somebody starting out, it's this: 1) buy a brand-new blade, and 2) make sure your saw's blade is running perfectly parallel to its sole's edge.
Loved the water siphon trick! Brilliant!
The brake line was literally all I was missing. Trying manage the tubing while safely controlling the saw stressed me out enough that I hadn’t tackled this yet. Thanks for the brilliant tip!
Thank you you explained exactly what I needed to know.
A little tip put painters tape where you gonna may that cut the help not chip the granite
Thanks for your video, that is pretty much exactly what I was thinking of doing too! I have to cut a much thinner piece of ceramic tile but it's 4' x 2'. Adapting my Skilsaw to do this work is a key feature that doesn't break the bank on a specialty tool that I'll only use a couple of times!
THANK YOU!! Extremely helpful and well done.
It was pure satisfaction watching your video. So simple yet so brilliant.
Really clever..thanks for posting!
Excellent video! Well done 👍
Great video, and a great job. Thanks
great video, I got a piece of granite to cut , mine wasn't free but, I had some questions about the blade to use and how I would set up the water supply, and your DIY video has really helped , informative and got to the point, Thank you
Two things:
This was pretty cool
Great idea well implemented. I just bought an electric plant mister ($20) to do the continuous spraying but may return it and go this route instead.
Brilliant!!! thank you
Nice hack. Another thing that you can do, is to take a hot glue gun and create a little channel around the area to be cut that will hold water in it. I do this for glass drilling as well.
Good job sir
Holy Lick... Thankyou thankyou thankyou... this is exactly what i need.. I'm basically "Ignorant" zero experience whatsoever, was planning to use and angle grinder,, Not A Chance In Hell after seeing this video... Helpful? Extremely ... probably saved me injury and a trip to the emergency.
