Beveling limestone tile corner

[PT Doc]

We are having some limestone tile installed on floors and walls. This will not be in a garage. The edges look like they are 90* corners but actually have a very small bevel. There will need to be some cuts that will be in an open area so I'm wondering how to achieve the small bevel after the cuts are made.

Thanks for the help.

most would cut the "grout side" - that leaves a finished/bevel edge. The other option is to have some sort of bull nose or edge tile used.

When I installed slate, I used a stone that is sold at Home Depot and has two grits. Course and fine I suppose. It's what I watched a tile use to ease edges. Worked great on slate. Just used water for lubricant. I think they are about 10 bucks.

I usually use an angle grinder with wet/dry sanding disk to achieve the bevel on stone tiles, especially if you need to do many pieces of tiles at a fast rate. If it's just a couple of pieces of tiles a medium grit stone or wet/dry sandpaper will do the trick.

Thanks for the stone recommendation.

Is this limestone polished or honed? Depending on how **** you are, if it is polished it will need a little more work to get the chamfer to be polished. One way to fake it is use a 4-600 grit wet dry paper on it then lightly apply some glossy sealer just to the sanded chamfer. That will give it the look of being polished without the cost/effort of polishing it.
