Polishing Ground Marble

An angle grinder (variable speed) with a good backer pad. Start with 60, 100, 220, 400, 600 grit,  then use a buffer to bring out a nice shine. You can get into something more professional, but I think this will make life easier and keep your costs minimal. In between the different grits of sanding disk dip the handle in water to clean and keep it wet, also you can use a little spray bottle to keep the stone moist.  You will need to fashion a way of holding the handle while you run the grinder. make sure when you get to 220, you have no deep grind marks. This will take practice. I can steer you to more professional tools if you want, I think they are not really needed for your kind of work.

I hope this helps, Please feel free to ask more questions.
