Subject: rounding edge on slate

First I would use a rat tail bastard file and try and work it by hand.
Carbide burrs are nice for bronze but for stone I would use silicon carbide
burrs which are much cheaper. If you don't have or want to use air tools you
can but it in an electric drill or buy an electric die grinder about 100usd
for an industrial model. Or you could use the electric drill with silicon
carbide sand paper. Again Norman you are talking to much about it instead of
doing it. 30 inch 3/4 thick not that big a deal!
