The problem is that I need to trim a 1/2 inch deep and 7" long piece
off of the edge of a Marble Vanity Top. The Vanity is a furniture
grade vanity with a marble top that needs to fit into a space that is
about 1/2 inch too narrow on one side toward the back of the top. I
can cut some trim to make way but still need to cut the edge off of
the vanity top. I have a great tile saw but it would require
disassembly of the vanity and taking it to the saw.


Is there an easy way to cut this with any standard tools?


A right-angle grinder with a diamond wheel. You take many shallow
passes.


Thanks, I will see if I can come up with one.


You could also try a carbide blade on a hack saw or reciprocating saw. I
talked with a vendor couple of weeks ago and there suppose to be a new
diamond recip blade - haven't seen it yet. Not sure how skillful you are
using the tools "free hand" and cut a clean straight line - not easy and
will take some practice. Maybe better just take it to your wet saw.
