Can the dual saw cut through granite?
NO! Granite is hard S#$!. 1.If you don't have a diamond blade its not gonna do much. It doesn't matter how many blades or which way they turn. 2.You will need water to cool the blade and the tile. Without water to cool it the tile will get hot and break and the blade unless diamond will overheat turn to molten metal and fly apart .
