Professional edge processing and clean edge bonding are crucial for a high-quality tile finish – especially with modern large formats made from porcelain stoneware or natural stone. With well-designed tools from Karl Dahm and the innovative AKEMI Colour Bond / Everclear systems, tile edges can be cut precisely, bonded perfectly and aesthetically highlighted.
Depending on the material and application, different tools are required. For processing narrow skirting boards, fine edges or mitre cuts, Karl Dahm offers a wide range of specialised tools:
The Milling and Cutting Slide Art. 40667 is guided along the tile edge. Combined with the adjustable electric angle grinder Art. 40265 and the Turbo Diamond Cutting Disc Art. 50260, precise and clean cuts are achieved in no time. The full set is available under Art. No. 42667.
An optional table attachment (e.g. Art. 40708) ensures safe handling even with narrow pieces. Mitre cuts between 40–50° are easily possible. For added versatility, we recommend the Allround Cutting and Grinding Disc Art. 50352, suitable for porcelain and soft natural stone.
After cutting, chamfering the edge is essential to prevent chipping. The Chamfering Slide Art. 40701 can be adjusted continuously between 22–90° and ensures a consistent finish. The Powerspeed Grinding Disc Art. 50488 (Grit 50) ensures strong material removal with long service life and smooth grinding results.
When working with thick patio slabs or natural stone up to 2 cm, a stone cutting machine such as the Karl Dahm Super Cut (e.g. Art. 30071 with 1000 mm cutting length) is essential. In combination with the TERR-Ultra Diamond Blade, precise and chip-free cuts are guaranteed – even on hard porcelain stoneware.
The AKEMI Colour Bond system is a state-of-the-art 2-component adhesive designed for visible interior edge bonding. Its key feature: the adhesive is available in over 50 colours, making it possible to perfectly match the tile material’s shade – for a seamless and discreet look.

Working time: approx. 6–7 minutes (temperature dependent)

Especially practical for solid-colour or patterned natural stone: Colour Bond Magic Colours adapt visually to the surrounding material – ideal for lively surfaces and varying colour gradients. The six Magic Colours are: Magic Beige, Magic Brown, Magic Grey, Magic Black, Magic White and Magic Cream.
