In this video Master Wholesale President Blake Adsero shows you how to stone the edge of stone and porcelain tile. This is adding back the beveled edge after cutting the tile for a clean chip free tile edge. If installing tile with schluter edge trim or similar this is an absolute must. We look at three different products to smooth and stone the tile edges; A 60 grit rubbing stone, a RockMaster 70 grit Foam Backed Diamond Hand Pad, and an EdgeCraft Diamond Hand File with the coarse grit. You will want to smooth the cut tile edge first then add the bevel. When adding the bevel back you want to hold the file at about a 45 degree angle to the edge of the tile and gently rub along the side, for harder stones more pressure is needed. The Diamond hand pad did the best job in the least amount of time, with the EdgeCraft coming in a close second and it does come with two other grits for other jobs. The 60 grit rubbing stone works great on softer stone tiles but requires more work for harder stone and porcelain tile. For larger tile jobs grinders with diamond resin pads or sandpaper will save you time. But for small jobs and home craftsmen these are great inexpensive alternatives. #tileedging
