Default Cutting Marble Vanity Top

BobR wrote:
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 lot depends on what you mean by
"Marble". Many of the so called
marble vanity tops are really a plastic
epoxy compound. These can be
cut with carbide blades. I used a belt
sander to take off about 1/4" off
one. It came off pretty easy. But, if
it's real marble, that's another story.
