ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to several embodiments of tools for finishing stone particularly stone tiles. The first embodiment is a production table on which a plurality of tiles can be secured within a cabinet so a worker may finish and polish the edges of the aligned tiles to produce a desired profile. Another embodiment of the invention relates to a modification of a standard tile saw in which any auxiliary carriage table is securable to the conveyer. The auxiliary table has an adjustable fence for precisely positioning a tile to be polished. The saw blade is replaced with an arbor to which a replaceable polishing ring can be secured. The rings are plastic having an abrasive surface defining various profiles and are provided in various grits. The tile is advanced by the table to bring the edge of the tile into engagement with the periphery of the ring to polish and profile the tile.
