So cool to learn from the other trades 🔨

What happens here

The user places two specialized seam setter tools onto the granite countertop, straddling the seam. These tools feature white blocks with vacuum suction cups and metal rods connecting them. The first tool is shown engaging its suction cups to firmly attach to the countertop. The presenter then explains that these tools use vacuum pumps to secure them, ensuring the countertop pieces are held tightly together. He highlights that one side of the tool has a mechanism (a crank or lever) to pull the two countertop pieces together horizontally, closing the seam tightly. The other side has adjustable cams for vertically leveling the two pieces, making the surface perfectly flush. He mentions using two such tools for larger seams, allowing for more precise control over the seam's alignment.

Goal: Securely position seam setters and comprehend their role in achieving a perfect seam.

>> So what does that do? Just like it's got suction on it or something? >> This machine? >> Yeah. >> Yeah, it's suction, vacuum pump. Suctions down to it. I have two of them in here. So if I have a larger seam, yeah, I have one of this opens and closes it. Okay, then. So I can usually do is I flap these, I'll do the handle on this side if I have a bigger seam, then I can go like this. It'll open the seam up, put my glue in, back, close it up. And then if these are off a little bit, use these little cans to kind of just adjust,
