I happen to have a 10 inch diamond saw. I've never used kerosene before, but cutting oil. I have also used straight water. The oil does cut better and does save on the life of the blade. I don't know about counter tops, but about rocks. When you cut rough rock , say granite, witch generally has a hardness of 7. If you use oil, some can seep in, because it yet has been polished. It's the polishing afterwards that's most important witch can prevent the entry of liquids after sawing. Granite comes in many colors. If your worried about discoloration. Black or red matrix might be the way to go over white?
