Hi,
I’m putting granite tiles down for a kitchen countertop and need some edging ideas. I know that you can buy bullnose pieces but they are very expensive. Anyone have any ideas on how to finish the edging on a granite tile countertop.

Check easternmarble.com and see what they have in the way of diamond wheels that you could use to roundover the edge of a tile.
I'm sorry, I thought you wanted it done the right way.
The tile guys used this on one of the homes I was at recently. It looked pretty good.

I have done 3 granite tile countertops...Apply an 1 1/2"+ edge piece and roundover the the overlapping top tile with a full of set of wet diamond pads and a wet polisher set up....Turns out beautiful and really not that difficult...A little harder is a granite tiled SS undermount sink... I could give more detail if interested..
