In the glass processing process, edge processing is a key step to ensure product safety, aesthetics and functionality. Through precision processing such as grinding and polishing the glass edge with an edge grinder and a diamond grinding wheel, the sharp edges, burrs and micro cracks generated by cutting can be effectively removed, and stress concentration problems can be eliminated, thereby improving the dimensional accuracy, mechanical strength, surface finish and safety of glass.
Introduction to 5 common edge treatments
Chamfered/Flat Edges
It chamfer the glass edges symmetrically on both sides (30°-45°), and polish them with matte or high gloss finish,which not only improves the scratch resistance, but also enhances the edge's resistance to chipping.
Applications: Home decor (mirrors, tabletops), automotive glass, electronics.

Round/Pencil Edge (C-Edge)
It is a rounded arc edge (similar to the cross section of a pencil) polished with a diamond grinding wheel. The edge can be matte or high-gloss effect,which combines safety protection and visual beauty.
Applications: Household glass, handheld devices, children’s products. |
 |
Bevelled Edge
The bevel edge is chamfered with a specific angle formed by bevel cutting and polishing, which has both decorative and impact resistance.
Applications: Decorative mirrors, luxury displays, art frames. |
 |
Stepped Edge
It is polished in multiple layers to form a stepped gradient edge, which is suitable for the fine processing of complex shaped glass.
Applications: Lighting fixtures, curved glass products, custom furniture
|
 |
2.5D Edge
2.5D edge adds a slight curvature to the flat chamfer to optimize the edge touch and optical effect, balancing safety and design.
Applications: Wearable tech, consumer electronics, architectural decoration. |

KS Glass professional CNC edge grinding machines and precision engraving machines can achieve the various glass edge processing described above.
KS Glass Edging Equipment Introduction
CNC edge grinding machine
CNC(Computer Numerical Control) edge grinding machine is usually equipped with multiple sets of grinding wheels.It uses a numerical control system to control the grinding wheel or diamond grinding tool to automatically process the glass edge. During this processing, the glass is fixed on the workbench, and the equipment drives the grinding head to move along the edge of the glass according to the preset program path to achieve a series of processes such as grinding, chamfering and polishing, effectively improving processing efficiency and edge quality.
CNC machining accuracy tolerance can be±0.2mm, capable of processing complex curves and special shape edges.
Precision engraving machine
Precision CNC engraving machine uses a high-speed spindle with a fine tool to achieve fine cutting of the glass edge and surface through multi-axis linkage. Compared with CNC edge grinding machines, precision engraving machines can process with higher precision(Accuracy up to 0.01mm) and smaller curvature radius, which are suitable for stepped edge grinding,various complex glass grooves and other glass projects with extremely high requirements for dimensional tolerance and edge finish.
KS Glass is equipped with more than 25 advanced CNC edge processing equipment, which can efficiently realize a variety of glass edge processing processes, including flat edges, round edges, bevel edges and other complex shapes. We not only provide standardized processing services, but also excel in personalized customization according to customer needs to meet the technical and aesthetic requirements of different projects.
With rich experience and a professional technical team, KS Glass is committed to providing customers with high-quality and fast-delivered edge solutions to help customers stand out in the fierce market competition.
