Product Description
For questions call 1-866-425-4693. This kit includes a SECCO variable speed wet polisher & 3/8" radius profile wheel. The polishing pad set includes 1 each 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500 and 3000 grit. This set INCLUDES the rubber backer pad needed to attach the diamond pads to the polisher.This kit includes a 3/8" radius vacuum brazed diamond profile wheel. This vacuum brazed profile wheel is designed to produce a 3/8" radius on natural or engineered stone and concrete. Very simple to use, the wheel screws directly on this tool. Our profile wheels feature an internal water feed for optimum cooling of the bit. A nylon guide on the top of the bit rides on the surface of the stone and a lower bearing controls the depth of cut for consistent shaping. Turn on the water and the grinder, apply some force parallel with the working surface, you're on your way to that custom edge. After you shape the edge, attach the included Velcro backing pad onto the grinder and start polishing with the 100 grit pad (50 grit included however it is very aggressive and should be used with caution). Continue polishing with each grit included with this kit and the factory shine can be achieved.

Paid for itself in a day.
By Clay
I purchased this polisher after learning that my tile supplier charged $12 a linear foot for bullnose profile. Needing 116 feet, I quickly determined that I would take a chance and purchase this kit. It was money well spent. Without any previous stone work experience I was able to profile all 116 feet. It took two full days to complete the task but the money I saved more than make up for it.
I will say that I was glad that I was performing this in the warmer months because the plastic guard surrounding the polishing pads did little to keep the water from soaking me. I had to overcome the fear of electrocution. I did receive a slight shock a couple of times. I was able to fix this by placing a piece of electrical tape over the seam where the two haves of the plastic case meet. I did read the comment about the water line issue, the supplied line should perform well as long as you don't have you supply hose turned up high. Common sense should tell you that you can't expect a 1/4" line to survive with a 1/2" or 3/4" garden hose attached at full pressure.
The radius bit made short work of achieving the desired profile. The most time consuming process was working my way through each of the of the polishing pad grit's. Don't think you can skip grit's, it will only take you longer to achieve the final finish. If you think you will polishing more than about 120 feet I would order a second set of polishing disks due to wear. I don't regret buying this kit.

Perfect Kit for DIYer
By JaguarOT
After a little setup and hookup, this product did exactly what I wanted on some large pieces of travertine that I was using as a countertop. The bullnose edge came out perfectly and after quickly working my way through the 8 polishing pads had a shine as good as the face of the travertine. Changing the Velcro backed pads was quick and easy.
My only two minor complaints are, first, that changing between attachments is challenging because of the rubber splash shield. Second, the kit includes a stamped-steel wrench for holding the shaft in place while you attach/remove the attachments, but they didn't include a wrench that fits the base of the radius-er. Fortunately, I had one, but it's bigger than what a lot of people may have in a shoebox of tools.
One tip I'd pass on to users is to dry the travertine after grinding, before commencing with the polishing. When you first begin to grind off the edge, the top bearing of the radius-er spins with the grinding face. As you get close to finishing the radius, it will ride against the face of the stone as it slows down. When the stone is wet, you don't realize that it has lightly scratched the face. If you notice it while you still have the proper grit pad on the grinder, you'll save some time as you work through the finer pads. They're quickly removed starting with the 200 or 400 grit pad.
This worked so well, I'm considering concrete countertops in the kitchen and look forward to radiusing and polishing them to an eye-dazzling shine.

Not too bad
By Jason Buckingham
This is not too bad if you don't mind the occational shock. 45 min into my first use, the GFI failed and whamo.
Albeit, I was drenched from head to toe and in a pool of water.
I polish small odd shaped stones with this and it is good for comfort and ease of use at weird angles.
