Profiling and polishing natural stone edges: guided at an exact height, streak-free to a gloss

A chamfer, a round bead, a cove – a profiled edge has to look the same along its whole length and match the surface in gloss. The Contour Cat KS 80 mills, grinds, polishes, profiles, cuts grooves and cuts at the stone edge with one machine; with the GADIA Oscillator the polish comes out streak-free.

What matters here

  • Freehand, the profile turns out uneven

    Without a base and a fixed height, the profile depends on a steady hand. Even small deviations show up as a wave along a long window sill or stair tread – and can hardly be corrected in the following grits.

  • Streaks in the visible edge

    A grinding tool that only rotates easily leaves streaks on the edge. On the finished, polished visible edge they stand out at once.

  • Dry at the edge: dust

    Grinding granite edges dry produces fine dust containing quartz. Bound by water, it stays in the slurry – for that, the water has to reach exactly the edge.

Step by step

  1. Mill the profile

    The felt base plate rests on the surface, the stepless height adjustment up to 25 mm sets the profile exactly. The Contour Cat takes profile cutters up to Ø 118 mm and cutting discs up to Ø 180 mm, and grinds up to 60 mm high. Water comes from inside via the flush head and from outside via two jointed hoses.

  2. Grind through the grits

    The GADIA Cyli cylinders take you through the grits without gaps: for granite and marble G50, G100, R200, R400, R800, for engineered stone from Q200. They run on the Contour Cat KS 80 and KS 80 BL with the GADIA Oscillator or the GADIA RS grinding head.

  3. Polish streak-free with the oscillator

    R1500, R3000 and the polisher bring out the gloss. The patented GADIA Oscillator grinding head adds a vertical stroke to the rotation – for streak-free, high-quality visible edges.

  4. Straight 90° edges

    If no profile is needed but a straight, precisely square 90° edge, the Polifox KP wet edge polisher does the job – also on thin slabs, up to 30 mm (KP80) or 50 mm (KP100) slab thickness.

Profiled edge or straight edge?

Both Contour Cat machines mill, grind and polish profiles wet, with height adjustment up to 25 mm and grinding height up to 60 mm. For straight 90° edges there is the Polifox KP.

Frequently asked questions

Which profiles does the Contour Cat mill?

The profile cutter determines the shape: the Contour Cat takes profile cutters up to Ø 118 mm, the stepless height adjustment up to 25 mm sets the profile precisely, and it grinds up to 60 mm high.

What can the Contour Cat KS 80 do?

Milling, grinding, polishing, profiling, groove milling and cutting at the stone edge – with just one machine. Wet, with water from inside and outside, for natural and engineered stone.

How do the edges become streak-free?

With the patented GADIA Oscillator: it adds a vertical stroke when grinding and polishing. It fits the Contour Cat KS 80 and the KS 80 BL.

Which grits does the GADIA Cyli Set contain?

For granite and marble (4 cm and 6 cm) one cylinder each of G50, G100, R200, R400, R800, R1500, R3000 and a polisher; for engineered stone (4 cm) one each of Q200, Q400, Q800, Q1500, Q3000 and a polisher.

Brushless or with carbon brushes?

The Contour Cat KS 80 uses carbon brushes with service flaps for easy changes. The KS 80 BL has a brushless motor without carbon brush wear, with high efficiency and low heat build-up.

PRCD or isolating transformer?

With a PRCD safety switch (DI) the machine works at any socket – for changing work sites. The version with CEE plug needs the TT 2602 isolating transformer, galvanically separated from the mains, for the workshop.
