Polish rough granite edges

[systemf]

Hi, I bought some 12' galaxy black tiles, and would like to have a polished edge, they come with a fairly rough edge. What tools/pads do I need? Ideas appreciated!

You need a variable speed grinder:

A set of polishing pads:

A backer

This a follow up to the cutting of a granite vanity top question.

Do you use a certain type of blade on the grinder to smooth out rough or chipped edges?


Thanks

Don't know diddily

Are you smoothing out an inside circle or a straight vertical edge? Or is it something different like a top with a chip in it?

I need more info for this.
