I'm looking for a couple of marble worktop offcuts around 750x500mm preferably ~25mm thick

any ideas where I could find them without paying a fortune ?

also what do you need to drill a small dia. hole part of the way though it ?

cheers

Is 750 x 500 about the size of a sink / drainer?

Perhaps local kitchen showrooms / fitters?

Marble can be drilled easily using a masonary bit, but no hammer action. Just keep it well lubricated.

^^^ What he said. Marble is very soft and breaks really easily.

I got a couple of pieces 30mm thick, one about 1500x300mm and other 600x400 (ish) with all the edges
finished for £80.
I went to a local granite supplier and told him what I needed and it was a to be a "cash sale, no rush, even
if I have to wait a few weeks for an offcut"

Only took a week.

cheers guys, I've been looking for the sink/cooker offcuts, but these all seem to be cut in the factory

I bought a piece last week for £20, but I was told to cut and polish would be 3x that amount. Did it myself on the tile cutter and polished with wet & dry. This was a monumental masons who also did kitchen tops.

That is going to be one heavy dashboard!

I can get off cut's from the local fireplace producer who have quite large piece's left over which they mostly skip
