I've purchased some 12X12 Granite tiles and all 4 edges are unpolished/unfinished. I expected this, but I was curious what type of stone/pad/brush/magic wand I could use to polish the edges that are going to show. The tile will be used around a fireplace opening and one edge will be visible... so it would be nice to make it look more like a bull-nose tile instead of the raw granite.

I've got a Dremel tool and the standard 3/8's power drill.

You will need a variable speed 4" grinder and a set of very expensive pads, easier and cheaper to just bring them to stone fabricator and ask them to bullnose or polish the sides you need done.:)
