no I wouldnt advise it
stone masonry is a trade that takes years to learn
of course someone would love to sell you a tool
they are salespeople
that is their job
and you are their prey :;):
Bullnosing is not a DIY job

I found a company called ATS Diamond Tools who said they can sell me a variable speed grinder and the bulldozing tool to get my builder to do the bulldozing as there is a fair amount to do.
