How to Cut a Natural Quartz Vanity Top

Place the natural quartz vanity top in the installation area on top of the vanity cabinets with the help of another person. Push it flush with rear and/or side walls as far as possible.

Examine the top's edges to determine where they require cutting, and draw a line across the quartz with a grease pencil to designate the cut lines.

Move the quartz vanity top outdoors with assistance, and position it on top of two sawhorses. If you need to cut a sink opening, turn the sink upside down on top of the quartz top, and trace around the perimeter of the sink edge with the grease pencil.

Attach one end of a garden hose to a faucet. Connect the other end of the garden hose to a diamond wet saw at the saw's water inlet valve. Turn the faucet handle to make water flow at a slow trickle, not full blast.

Put on safety glasses, and place the wet saw over the grease pencil lines that require cutting. Squeeze the wet saw's trigger, and cut through the grease pencil lines slowly but steadily.

Cut out the sink area, if required, using the same technique, but keep the saw blade at least 1/4 inch inside the grease pencil line. The 1/4 inch will provide a lip on which the installed sink will rest.

Release the wet saw's trigger, and wait until the saw stops spinning. Turn off the faucet. Wipe the quartz vanity top with a clean cloth to remove all moisture and remaining grease pencil marks.

Carry the quartz top inside, and place it on the vanity cabinet. Check whether or not to it fits. If additional cuts are necessary, the the quartz top outside to complete those cuts.
