   the best tool or that is a 4inch grinder the only hitch is you need the variable speed because you should polish at about 2000rpm when i worked in a granite and marble shop i spent alot of time with a millwauke that preformed great on the lowwest setting as for poly on granite tile edges we would polish them with the coarse grits(3 out of 6) and then run tounge oil but for marble it polishes in 3 or 4 grits 80 to shape 120,240,400 and that was it you also may want to seal the marble as it is pouros

   noah

       I'm guessing you have a wet saw......right? What I do is I miter all the outside corners so that I dont have butt ends showing but in cases where I do.....I tediously sand the edges with a fine grit paper. The finish on marble isnt  coated but rather a fine sanding and buffing. What you can do to make life easy is to take the tiles you will have exposed butt eges on and bring them to a tile/granite shop to have them polish em up.

   Have fun
