bullnosing stone tiles

[Ceramico tiling]

Have you guys used a stone router to bullnose stone tiles?Have just seen the tool online and would like to get one to experiment with but not sure if its worth it??

You will find it hard to get profile bits that router under 20mm in thickness..

I have a diamond polishing kit including a diamond bullnosing tool. I occasionally use it to form skirtings from porcelain tiles and to form nosings on steps. Very effective but time consuming as you have to work thro the various polishing discs to bring them up.
I've never tried it on stone but reckon it depends the surface of the tile. For softer stone I think you'll get a bull nose quite easily with 50 grade diamond pad on a varible speed polisher....It will take some practice tho.

thanks for that,I look forward to practice time.I think it will really put the cherry on top of some jobs:smilewinkgrin:

That was a 10-15mm radius

Yes i do bullnosing but not with a stone router..

Stone routers only go as low as 20mm.. i use a variable speed hand help polisher ( flex) and a bullnosing profile wheel..

where do you get your profile wheels? and does the width of the blade allow it to fit on a dewalt d24000? cheers

 

[DHTiling]

The profiling wheels for the dewalt are sold in the usa...

but they will ship to the uk..i inquired..

Have always fancied trying a proper bullnose tool, have a go with my vari speed grinder and pads,but more time consuming & not as uniform.
Will deff look into it,thanks for the pointer.
