Diamond Tools For Granite Fabricating

First, let’s define what bullnosing is. If you’re considering tackling a kitchen, bathroom or bar countertop fabrication and installation yourself, you’re going to come across the bullnose term frequently. Bullnosing is the process of adding a smooth, finished, aesthetically-pleasing edge to an unfinished natural stone, granite slab or tile. A good bullnosing job also protects the edge from chipping and cracking.

Natural stone such as granite, marble and travertine in slab form are popular choices for new construction and remodeling or reconstruction projects. Decorative stone, ceramic, and custom or hand-made tiles can be alternative substitutes for massive stone slabs, because tiles can be easily installed by one DIY person working alone.

Bullnosing requires specialized diamond tools… like diamond grinders, routers, polishing pads and shapers… for cutting, grinding, and polishing natural stones like granite and marble. When ceramic or porcelain tiles require bullnosing, the tile must be cut, bullnosed, and the edge or trim must be polished and refinished to match the surface finish. All the tools and accessories needed for cutting, grinding, sanding, finishing and polishing the average DIY countertop project along with instruction is offered.
