I have a limestone patio with a 7 inch step down on the outside. the top outside edges were saw cut and are sharp. I was wondering if I could use a disk grinder to round these edges down or if it would just make a mess. thanx much.
oh crap, not again.........

You could, but you should practice on a few offcuts first, as getting an even bullnose is not as easy as it may seem

I saw a mason doing somthing similar the other day - he was using like a disc/cup diamond tipped attachment on a 4" grinder, He made it look easy!

This has been raised before. I think there is some kind of router out there to bevel them.

You can get one from Combined Masonry Supplies (CMS) in Bradford or Harbro International in Darlington.
