Depends on how deep a chamfer you require..

[Sir Ramic]

What sort of stone? and how much of a chamfer ? You can take the edge off travertine quite easily using sandpaper or better still Silicon carbide discs. A set of diamond pads work extremely well too and give a smooth finish. I rounded the edge of this travertine with the diamond pads and polished the edges up nicely.
