Heylo all, a client of mine has a shower they’re wanting to have marble tiles installed in. The question I have I’m hoping is pretty simple. After making any necessary cuts to the tiles, how do I polish a good finish onto the cut edge again?
Thanks much.

dogmai,
I like my PC random orbit with the 3-M micron papers for a final polish. Plan your layout and there may not be any edges showing,

Depending on where the edges are.....you might be able to use edging strips.

Jeff,
You always come up with good stuff! Thanks. Back to lurking...continue with your regularly scheduled program.Frank
Thanks all for the advice. Had previously mentioned the possibility of that type of transition to the homeowners and they weren't as keen on it as polishing any cut edges. On that 3-m micron paper, is there a particular grit that I should be looking for? Thanks much!
Hi dogmai
Specialty abrasive houses have white oxide compound for polishing marble- Ritchey Supply in Toronto Canada has it. The website is
