I had wall tiles that I was bull nosing the edges. Now I am always open to try new things, even though doing the edges with diamond stone and pads works well, so here is what I liked and did not like about these bits.Like:*the bits seem well constructed and work well at lower RPM's*the cut was smooth and consistent (there is an issue i will discuss later)*the price was fair for what is doesDid Not Like:*the bearing on the 1/4 and larger bits is too low to use on tile 9mm and under (even the 1/8 is marginal). If you are doing thicker tiles, I can see this working well. You can use light passes with a hand router and get a good strait edge, but there is a tendency to over cut if you rely on the bearing. This creates a line that can be removed with diamond pads and a little time.*A router table fence can help with this, but tile edges are not that precise.Overall, cool idea and it can work well if you are using the bit to nock off the corners (liked the 1/8 bit) So be careful and are gentle with your strokes. Stones, pads, router it all works well, so pick you poison.

This little bit actually rounds stone tile nicely. I needed to smooth a few spots and you will need to keep the surface wet for bit life.

I used this in a router table with no water on marble to round over large format tiles 24 in square. Also made half round bull nose from cut strips of marble 24 inch long 3/4 in wide.Saved $$$$ , retail bull nose is $7 foot, this bit cost less than one piece, my home made was $ 1. longer 2 ft pieces had less butt joints.Grinding marble makes a lot of dust, silt. So wear a mask over your nose and mouth. Do routering outside. Your hair, everything will be thick coated with silt.

I used this to put a slight bullnose edge on porcelain tile and it worked well. I actually put it in my drill press with adjustable base and set the height and my press is variable speed I found around 1,100 rpm work best. I used it dry no water or spray bottle. I did approximately 28 running ft and the bit doesn’t show signs of wear other then normal.

This is the resulting cut on the edge of a stone slab. It will need some sanding but overall I'm happy with the cut.I don't know exactly what sort of stone this is, it was originally a stall divider in a public restroom. I cut the slabs to shape for a set of small table tops using a wet saw and then needed something to make the edge pretty. This bit did the trick just fine. I ran it in a regular 1.5HP router at a low speed and made multiple passes. After nearly 20 meters of edges, it's still cutting just fine.The bearing turns very roughly, if at all. This didn't seem to affect the performance.
