Carving granite with dremel.

Carving stone with a dremel can create a fair amount of debris and should never be attempted without wearing proper safety gear. Trim a little at a time off of the countertop with the dremel. Hey there i truly hope you enjoyed this video or build. Hold the tool so that the spinning cutting disk is at a 90 degree angle to the surface of the countertop.

Ideally the grain will run lengthwise with the piece as carving across the grain can result in the stone cracking and splitting. Plug up the dremel rotary tool turn it on and adjust the speed to its highest setting. I am always open. Move the dremel tip in a fluid steady motion as if you were writing or drawing with it.

Set the dremel to its lowest speed setting and run the spinning tip lightly over the drawing on the granite leaving white scratches over the lines you want to engrave. Create a rough scratch marking of the lines. Gently touch the cutting wheel to the counter top to cut into the surface.
