Do I need a holder for a stone this thick?

Well using a stone holder is really a matter of preference with any stone. It's certainly not a requirement as long as you have some form of non-slip surface. Personally I like to use a stone holder, so I do with all my stones.

No, you need a portland product designed for it. It just keeps pond rocks from scooting around, but doesn't have a lot of strength. You need to talk to a mason guy.

You don't have to. But I highly recommend it. I feel it gives you a better edge and keeps the stone from loading up.

Yes, we had it attached to our granite island, although ours was3 cm (or 1-1/2") thick. As long as it opens that much it should be ok

It depends on how big your water stone is. IMHO to flatten a water stone or oil stone the flattening device should overhang the stone somewhat. Just my opinion.

AFAIK granite runs 1/2 to 3/4 thick and nothing special is needed. Generally, if your granite is sitting on plywood, your contractor should have cut aSection of the wood away where the fixtures are to be installed so that the wood does not soak up water that may collect underneath. So, assuming your granite is normal thickness and installed correctly you shouldn't need anything special to install this fixture.

Yes, just hold the stone steady so you don't wallow out the hole.blow the dust away periodically or keep the stone wet.

Sure. I'd use a Dremel Tool. If you want a sword to stay in place you would have to fill the "stone" with something so that, when inserted, it would stay in place.

No you will need to hold it with something. The glass is thick and high quality but I Dont know that there is any glass that won't need to be held with a potholder/mitts.

No. Your block is too small. At your size your salt risks breaking so the holder won't be able to support it.

I have never thought of doing that. The tray tjat holds the rocks is deep you would need a lot of glass but it would work.

I use honing fluid with the diamond stone. It will keep the filings from building up in the stone.

Yes. Dont use if there are stones gled on. I suggest a silver cleaning cloth for that.

We have a Silestone counter, which I believe is similar in thickness to a granite counter. We installed this unit with no problem.

NO! You will need to use pot holders or oven mitts to extract the stone from the oven, and then set it onto the cooling rack/handles for transport to the table, etc.

The stone is not fastened to the base, because it is dual-sided and will be flipped while using it. You don't really need a base to use the stone, but there is a ridge in the base that surrounds the stone and the stone sits into.
