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.

The Taurus 3 Tile Shaper Ring Saw is a high-quality, tile saw that makes precision-cutting possible and easier. This is a tile shaper ring saw that enables you to make straight or curved cuts on tile and stone with ease. You can even use it handheld like a jigsaw for intricate cutting. This saw can cut forward or backward… even sideways because there is diamond on all sides of the blade! These special 6″ blades deliver at least the same life span as a 7″ tile blade at the same price. The difference is, these blades have no center, and are driven from the outside delivering several advantages:

1) The ability to make straight or curved cuts.
2) Easily slice off the edge of your material. The blade remains stable and rigid without wandering.
3) The diamond coating is all around and over the blade, making forward, backward and side cutting possible.
4) You can use the same blade for all materials. There is no need to change blades.
5) The diamond blade will never glaze over, so there is no need to ever dress the blade.

This tile saw runs whisper quiet and since the blade goes through a water bath it does not make a mess like traditional tile saws do. The saw easily detaches from the waterpan/base so you can run it handheld - just like it was a jigsaw.
