Where a cut tile remains as a visible edge – at an outside corner, niche, step or window sill – the cut edge has to hold its own next to the factory edge. An edge polisher guides the pad on a base plate square to the edge: dry with the Genius KP, wet with the Polifox KP.
Genius KP · Dry
From: 664,00 €
Without guidance the machine tilts slightly with every movement – the edge becomes rounded, wavy or gets an uneven chamfer. Next to a rectified factory edge, every deviation shows.
By hand an edge can be arrised, but hardly brought to an even, square polish over its whole length – especially on the long edges of large-format slabs.
Outside corners often get a trim profile. If you want to work without one, you need a cut edge that holds its own next to the factory edge.
GADIA Ceram-Cut delivers the highest cut quality in porcelain stoneware, ceramics and patio slabs; make the straight cut with the SMART CUTTER along the guide edge or on the rail system.
The Genius KP polishes dry (1,000–4,000 rpm, 4.3 kg) – without a water supply. The Polifox KP polishes wet (800–3,600 rpm, 5.2 kg) with water hose and splash guard; it works with a PRCD safety switch at any socket or with a CEE plug on the isolating transformer TT 2602. Both: 890 W, 7 speed settings A–G.
KP80 with Ø 80 mm aluminium holder for slab thicknesses up to 30 mm, KP100 with Ø 100 mm up to 50 mm. The felt on the base plate is meant for smooth, delicate surfaces; for rough ones, fit the velcro plastic plate.
One hand guides the base plate by the knob and presses it lightly against the support, the other moves the machine back and forth by the D-handle with light pressure against the edge. Change pads from coarse to fine: loosen the star knob of the flat guide, pull the machine out, swap the pad on the velcro holder. Dry with GADIA Easy Dry, wet with GADIA Resin Premium.
Note: Too much pressure harms the machine and pads and can cause burns (brown marks) on tool and stone. On the Polifox KP always open the water before switching on (operating instructions).
Both polish straight, square 90° edges on porcelain stoneware, ceramics and natural stone, also on thin slabs – the difference is dry or wet.

Yes. According to their intended use, the Polifox KP and Genius KP are built for straight, square 90° edges in mineral materials, explicitly including porcelain stoneware and ceramics – alongside marble, granite, engineered stone, glass and sandstone.
Dry with the Genius KP where no water should get into the room; wet with the Polifox KP, which must never run without water feed and needs a PRCD safety switch or an isolating transformer.
With Ø 80 mm tools (KP80) you work slabs up to 30 mm thick, with Ø 100 mm (KP100) up to 50 mm.
For the Genius KP the dry GADIA Easy Dry in Ø 80 or 100 mm, for the Polifox KP the GADIA Resin Premium for wet grinding in Ø 80 or 100 mm – each with velcro on the holder.
The KP edge polishers are designed for straight, square 90° edges and not for cutting. Mitres, chamfers and rounded profiles are not part of the described application.
It can: polishing opens up the pores of porcelain stoneware, “which can lead to increased dirt adhesion”1. Check the tile manufacturer’s care and sealing instructions.
