Tiling into Recesses - die grinder?

[jrm1]

Just spent a small fortune on marble tiles and intend to tile into recesses but have been wracking my brains about how to do this, seeing as you can't get round-overs made of stone. And we must agree, plastic would look naff.

Can anyone recommend the best tool for the job of polishing the exposed ends of the tiles (as you tile into a recess for example)?

Would an air die grinder be best? If so, which one - there are quite a few on the market. Getting into tight spaces would be a consideration.

I think a die grinder would leave it looking like a ploughed field, if this is a one off job, wet and dry paper supported by a block of wood (to keep it flat)might suffice. Oh, and a bit of elbow grease. Good luck

try a orbital sander on a tile before its fixed ete

why don't you mitre the corners with a wet saw instead?

Hi, did a recent trav splashback, I dont like trims either on trav.
The wet cutter was sufficient, resealed the edges after cutting and applying.
The sill I leave an extra 2mm to create a sill but not too weak it will snap off and cut the sill into the side (slot it)...I like the finished results and have done quite afew like this now...if I knew how I would put pics on !!! LOL
