Hi Eskimo,
glad to see your replacement arrived and in good order. Kryn might have a good idea there too.
SimonGirl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that." I mean, you tell me you're, uh, super-mega-ultra-lightning babe? That's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.

yes Kryn and Simon...drive past there very regularly...to annoy swmbo at work and get a free coffee
might do that next week ...wonder how true they can cut it...big one only needs to be cut across the top.
doesnt matter if its not square...just have to remember to not use it...or I could probably do it with a bianco brick saw
the smaller one will be a different story as they would need to get a long 90 side out of it to make it usefull, and that will mean it needs to cut true.

Hi Esky,
Do you have an angle Grinder with a diamond blade as for cutting tiles? If so, you could probably do just as good a job yourself. As you've a master square, the larger broken section, lay the big one down and use its long flat edge to work from, sit both broken squares back to back and then trim/grind the shorter one, till it becomes square.

While you're about it, may as well use the new square as a reference edge to epoxy the two broken bits together.
Granite being non-ductile, they should key together almost perfectly, and if you arrange the new square underneath, with gravity loading the broken bits onto it, the result should be good. Of course this assumes you do not have a handful of granite crumbs as well as the two bits. Finally you could check the repaired square against the new one.
Just jokin' (sort of), but if there's actually a use for a 'rough' granite square there's not much to lose - unless you forget the release agent (or waxed paper) between the two squares.
Cheers,
Bill
