Default Can I cut cultured marble?

Phisherman,
You are just showing your ignorance. You are making speculation on
something you have no experience with. I have professionally installed
cultured on several occasions. A diamond cutting edge of any kind that
moves the speed of a router would plug up. I have yet to see a router
made to work with a water feed.

I have an old vanity top left over from my bathroom remodeling project. The
top has the sink built in and it is made of cultured marble. Can I cut out
the sink into a new oval shape and reuse it? I have a few non-carbide
router bits that I would be willing to use (sacrifice). But I was wondering
if anyone else has tried this.
Thanks for the help.

I seriously doubt that will work well. Diamond-tipped bits would
work, but it would certainly make a dusty mess and possibly ruin your
router. Take the top to a specialist in cutting counter tops,
probably cost less than you think.
