The following was taken from the "Cul-Mar cultured marble site:
"Cultured marble can be cut by a skill saw with a carborundum (masonry) blade. A belt sander can be used to grind down the edge." I figured on using a dry cut diamond because of less dust than with a masonary blade. Use a good dust mask.
