A process that is often overlooked in precision glass fabrication that is not glamorous, but extremely crucial is the creation of a beveled edge on an optic. You may have heard the term chamfer, safety bevel, or break edge bevel. These are all just different ways of saying the same thing. Where two surfaces meet that e
