Bevelling is The grinding back of an edge of a piece of glass. The usual angles are between 5-7 degrees and are usually 25mm wide with 30mm on 6mm mirror these are best in frames. Steep bevels of 11-12 degrees are only 12mm wide on 6mm glass. The minimum width of a bevel is about 6mm with an arris of 1-2 mm. The usual edge people see as the minimum not sharp edge all bevels should be arrised.
