How does a DIY'er achieve the ground edges to a glass pane that you get
on commercially-supplied mirrors? Grinding wheel in an angle grinder


I'd probably try a selection of coarse abrasives/carbide sanding
plates in a 1/3 sheet orbital sander or maybe a tungsten carbide
sanding plate in a Fein Multimaster. As it involves applying pressure
on the edge of the glass then whatever method you use I'd get some
kevlar protection sleeves for your wrists and forearms, a slip could
be fatal.
