    Let's say I have an extra slab or two or granite laying around, just hypothetically wanted to use it for an Open Builds Modular Table top, for a CNC machine.

    Would you drill holes into it and screw it into the table, or would you use epoxy or some other method to affix the granite to the table?

    Regards,
    Dave

    Granite/marble Kitchen countertops usually just gets a couple dabs of silicon to stop them sliding and the weight does the rest :)

    As Peter said but maybe use construction adhesive, also known as liquid nails, instead of the silicone.

    Thanks for all your help!

    I think it looks pretty good. Next step is to get the C-BEAM built and installed.

    I ended up going with Gorilla Glue construction adhesive.
