Marble isn t that hard of a material that s why the grinder or belt sander will work.
Once the edge has been dulled work your way up to 200 grit sandpaper and then 400 grit sandpaper to polish the edge for maximum smoothness.
Use 60 or 80 grit for starters just to dull the edge or flatten the serrations if the tile has been nipped.
