DiStar Soft Edge 2″
DiStar Soft Edge 2″ is a specialized 45 mm diamond grinding cup engineered for smooth, controlled edge finishing on porcelain tile, ceramic tile, granite, and natural stone. Designed for use with compact angle grinders and Proxxon long-neck rotary tools, this grinding cup features a soft diamond bond that enables precise material removal while minimizing chipping, making it ideal for delicate edge work, cut refinement, and surface preparation prior to polishing. Unlike aggressive grinding wheels, the Soft Edge DGM-S delivers exceptional control, improved finish quality, reduced vibration, and consistent edge refinement, especially when working near glazed or fragile surfaces.
Designed for Smooth Edge Grinding on Porcelain & Ceramic Tile
The Soft Edge 2″ is specifically developed for porcelain tile edge finishing, ceramic tile smoothing, refining cuts after diamond blade use, and preparing edges for polishing. Its specialized soft-bond diamond matrix delivers smooth grinding performance while reducing the risk of edge chipping.
Compatible Materials
Suitable for porcelain tile, porcelain gres, ceramic tile, granite, natural stone, and other similar materials requiring precision edge finishing.
Built for Proxxon & Compatible 45 mm Tools
Designed for use with the Proxxon LHW/A cordless long-neck angle grinder, Proxxon LWB/A cordless long-neck rotary tool, and other compatible 45 mm angle grinders. Its compact 2″ diameter allows access to tight spaces and detailed work areas where larger grinding cups cannot reach.
Dry Grinding Performance
Engineered for dry use, eliminating the need for water setup and making it ideal for on-site tile installations, quick edge corrections, and finishing tasks without interrupting workflow.
Grinding Cup vs. Diamond Blade
A diamond blade is designed for cutting tile, while a grinding cup is used to smooth, refine, and finish edges after cutting. The DiStar Soft Edge 2″ is the perfect follow-up tool after using cutting blades such as the Mastercut or Butterfly, helping achieve a clean, professional-quality finished edge.
