This angled cut adds a subtle, refined detail to the stone’s edge.The further the cut is down the stone, the wider the bevel face is. Occasionally you will see a bevell edge with 3mm 45 Degrees polishing cut edge that they would like to market it as an Ares edge.
Round Pencil Profile

Triple Edge Profile
The Triple Edge Profile resembles a demi-bullnose design with an added notch at the top, creating a layered and distinctive look.It may have a tendency to chip depending on the stone. More complex profiles can be made with special router bits such as this Triple Waterfall. Genuine craftsman can create a never ending array of edges by gluing together different profiles. To achieve a more natural or rustic appearance, the stone edge is finished with a chiseled texture. Some fabricators hand chisel this edge. Others use pneumatic chiseling machines to chisel the edge. The chiseled edge looks rough and resembles a naturally broken piece of granite. The edge appears slightly smoothed out and sprayed with a clear coat finish for shine.
