Actually Silestone. Here is my plan- I welcome comments.
I have to enlarge an existing cut-out for a new range install. Definitely has to be wider (2 cuts), but may also need to be deeper (3rd cut). I am going to use an angle grinder with a diamond blade. I am doing this as a dry cut, as there are no GFCI outlets nearby. As I cut, my wife will hold a vacuum hose near the rear of the blade to catch as much dust as possible. We are going to put up plastic in order to contain as much dust as possible also. We will have P100 masks on and eye goggles. I will do a shallow cut first as it will act as a guide for the complete cut. Cuts will be marked on painter's tape to protect from chips, etc. Fortunately, the rangetop has lips (overhang) so I do not have to be pretty or perfect in my cuts.
What have I forgotten?
