[tortoise100]

Hello,

How do I put a bullnose or rounded edge on limestone tiles with an angle grinder ?
Then what would I use to polish the edge ?

Thanks
John

Thanks for the links Neale.

Question for the original poster:-

How thick is the product and would you like a full or half bull nose?

For polishing Jura, Silicone carbide pads are ideal. No need to buy diamond pads unless you're doing huge amounts.

Hello,
The stone is 15 mm thick and I need to make a half bullnose/ half round on each tile.

Thanks

You'll need one of these, at 10mm or 15mm depending on how large you want the half bullnose:-



Then polish with some silicon carbide pads.

Both fit onto a variable speed grinder/polisher.
