Default Can I Bullnose Porcelain Tile With A Belt Sander?

I'm thinking of covering a concrete stoop with 12" x 12" porcelain
tile. The stoop has one ~13" x 5' step up to a 4' x 5' slab. Therefore
there are 2 risers.

I want to bullnose the edges of the step and slab, both along the
fronts and the sides, but I'm not sure what the best method is.

Should I buy bullnose tiles (~3 " x 12") and use those on the 3 edges
of the step and slab or can I use full size tiles and bullnose the
edges with a belt sander?


Why are they called "bullnose"?
