Discuss Bull-nosing in the Specialist Tile -Stone, Porcelain, Glass area at TilersForums.com.

The reason I am posting these porcelain pictures in here is because I tend to treat the porcelain as stone using 1/16'' narrow grout joints, custom made shower shelf, bull-nosing etc

Angle grinders are a bit fast, it needs to be variable speed, but yes it's simply an M14 profiling tool that attaches to a hand held machine.

The machine pictured is a Makita PW5000c with a speed range of 2000-4000rpm and a full water feed. You'd need that kind of equipment to produce the quality of finish in the images above.

You think that Makita with that RPM range of 2000-4000 would be OK with Carrara marble? Or too fast?
 
That should be fine for Carrara, most polishing is done in the 3000 to 4000 rpm range with diamond pads at 100mm.

Cheers. I had it in my head that 2000 was as fast as you should go with soft marbles..

Im just considering a few options regarding a wet polishr and this one does get some good reviews.
