granite anchors for cabinet top
Have small counter top of 3/4" granite. Want to attach from underneath
but do not have set of granite "tools". Thinking of buying a 1/2" granite capable drill bite, boring partially into underside of granite, then use epoxy to glue a barrle nut which I could then bolt into from below. Q: Is that sane and does it work? |

granite anchors for cabinet top
Granite Counter Top ? The norm is that the counter/cabinets have a finished
top of plywood (ours was 3/4") and the granite is placed on that after a liberal application of silicone in several good sized 'blobs' across the whole surface. Our 3/4" granite had the edge built up so that the reveal on the sided/ends was 1 1/2" and that overhang covers over the edge of the plywood 'underlay'- No drilling, screwing etc Thinking of buying a 1/2" granite capable drill bite, boring partially into underside of granite, then use epoxy to glue a barrle nut which I could then bolt into from below. |

Q: Is that sane and does it work? Don't bother. Silicone will hold it in place just fine. Just make sure all of your cabinets are level. If you have a dishwasher get the brackets to side-mount it into the cabinets. |

If you have a dishwasher get the brackets to side-mount it into the cabinets. Slab is only 40" by 16" but application is as a table saw surface not as a countertop. There will be more vibration and shearing forces versus just setting something on it as you would in a kitchen. Looks like a hole filled with JB Weld to secure the insert will work based on other web sites. |
