What happens here

A piece of white solid surface material (referred to as granite in the video) is cut to size for the countertop. The cutting is done outdoors due to the dust generated. A Makita angle grinder fitted with a diamond blade is used, guided by a clamped-down straight piece of wood, to make slow, controlled passes. The rough cut edge is then polished using a three-step diamond polishing pad system on the angle grinder, starting with coarser grits and moving to finer ones, followed by a final rounding of the edge. Safety gear, including a respirator and ear protection, is crucial during this step.

Goal: Fabricate and finish the solid surface countertop
