Steps For Marble Edge Polishing

The marble honing polishing steps involves usage of several grit sizes of diamond marble polishing pads with a wet stone polisher grinder. The results are highly noticeable when the correct process is executed.

1. Place the marble slab on a work table / stand; make sure that it doesn’t move while working. It is not necessary but is a good idea to mask places near to the marble stone that can be harmed by water, masking tape is an excellent item to use in this purpose.
2. Carefully look on the marble slab edges. A profiled or saw cur edge may have some sharp and heavy scratches. Smaller grit sizes (50, 100, 200) are perfect to remove the heavy scratches and higher grit sizes (1500, 3000) are suitable to achieve shiny finishing.
3. Attach the backing pads to wet polisher, ensure it is switched off before attaching it. Now you can begin the polishing process, open the diamond marble polishing kit and start with grit 50 polishing pad. Attach 50 grits to the velcro of backing pad slowly open water flow for wet polisher. Start polisher at low rpm and start polishing the marble edge with side-to-side motion, not more than four or five times. With lower grits, too many iteration can grind more than needed without adding any value to polishing finish.
4. After repeating the process with other small sizes grits, you can find a better smooth surface that are free from all saw marks, old sealant or wax. Use the grinder initially as low speed and as needed increase its speed slowly for faster polishing suitable for specific stone.
5. Ensure every single part of surface is polished with the grit before moving to higher grit. Any unpolished area with lower grit will result in sub optimal shine. A good way to ensure every single part of edge is polished is to wipe the edge surface with gently squeezed wet cleaning towel, and polish dry. The heat will evaporate the water where it is already polished. Ensure entire water evaporates then perform one more round of wet polishing. Move to the very next higher grit once the entire surface is polished.
6. Continue and repeat the processes with diamond marble polishing kit from lower grits to higher grit until you get your desired finish. Make sure that you have used grits from lower to higher, apply gradually all the grits 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500 and 3000 grits. Don’t use more than the double grits from the first diamond marble polishing pads. Maintain the regularity to using the polishing pads.
7. Use one by one pad until the polish starts to shine accurately. Then, vacuum the area as needed to remove any debris. You would find good shine at grit 800, and as you progress to grit 1500 and 3000 it will start getting mirror like finish.
