Drilling through granite

[Canoe1]

I need to drill a hole in the granite counter top for a drinking water filter. It'll be a one time job. The hole will be about 1" or 1-1/2" wide.
What's the bit for the job, a type of hole saw bit?
Thanks

I have one I bought to install an RO system but not sure if it was that big. If i can find it you can borrow it

Go to home depot and tell them you need a diamond hole saw. They are a little pricey though.

since it is just a one time deal order a cheap one off amazon. like this: https://www.amazon.com/Drilax-Pcs-Di...iamond+holesaw

I'd call a local granite installer and ask them. They should be able to help.

I wonder if Harbor Frieght might have something...

You can buy diamond holes saw bits at Home Depot. They are not the commercial grade but will drill 1-2 holes in 1" granite before they wear out.

X2 easier to let a professional, than do something that would cause your granite to break.

Faucet holes are 1 3/8", and I believe 1" for fresh water dispenser.

We use a angle grinder with a core bit for the appropriate size.

The one I used came off eBay for like $16. It cuts a 1-3/8" hole

Lenox was the brand
