Ballendo, you will never get a very controlled cut using a torch to cut
granite. If it is important that the hole is circular then you need only
core-drill it with a diamond core drill. You can cut granite with a torch,
perhaps not this torch, Im not familiar with it. However I have seen and
HEARD torches which use a combination of deisel fuel and liquid oxygen, that
are used in quarries such as those in Barre, VT to quarry granite. Not the
type of thing you would want in your neighborhood.
