5-Axis CNC Edging

Precision glass fabrication that conventional shops cannot produce. Intermac-powered, in house, and engineered for OEMs, glaziers, and architectural contractors across Ontario and the Northeastern U.S.

Most glass shops can cut a straight line and polish a flat edge. That covers shower doors, basic railings, and standard tempered panels. But the moment your project calls for a compound bevel, a right-angle inside corner, or a curved cutout to millimeter tolerance, most fabricators hesitate. Some decline the job outright. Others attempt it and ship a panel that fails final QC at your site.

5-Axis CNC Edging

Unlike traditional 2- or 3-axis machines, the cutting head rotates and tilts while the glass remains stationary, enabling precise execution of complex shapes and angles.

  • Multidimensional Cutting for Complex Geometries
  • Precision Access to Angles, Undercuts, and Compound Shapes
  • Consistent Millimeter-level Repeatability
  • Advanced Intermac CNC Machining Centers (Italian-built)
  • Single-Pass Accuracy for High-End Fabrication
  • Reliable Output Across Architectural and Custom Projects

CNC Glass Edging Applications

Our CNC edging capabilities support applications where precision edge finishing and consistency are critical.

  • Railing panels with polished safety edges
  • Shower glass with refined finished edges
  • Partition panels with consistent edge lines
  • Storefront glass with clean visible edges
  • Mirror panels with sharp beveled edges
  • Custom glass with detailed edge profiles

Our Full Capabilities

What we fabricate in-house.

Every capability below is performed on our Intermac machines in our Barrie, Ontario facility. Nothing is sub-contracted. Nothing leaves the building between stages. The result is full fabrication control, consistent quality, and delivery timelines we can actually commit to.

01

Straight Line & Shape Polishing

Any geometry
Flawless edges on any shape, from straight, to complex, to compound. Smooth profiles, consistent gloss and defined transitions from end of the panel to the other.
02

Beveling Up to 2"

Sharp, refined

Sharp, refined bevels for mirrors, cut to precise widths, and feature panels. Angle and depth are machined to exact specification, not approximated.

03

Inside & Right-Angle Bevels

Up to 1/2″
The bevels most fabricators avoid. Inside corners, right-angle geometries that require the tool head to pivot mid-cut. Finished to true production-level quality.
04

Inside Cut-Outs

Perfect fit
Precision openings for sinks, fixtures, and more. Interior openings for pass-throughs and custom pass-through openings. Clean, polished or arrised edges with full tolerance to tight enough to pass final install fit up.
05

Hinge Cut-Outs

Spec accurate

Machined to the hardware manufacturer’s specification. Hinges seat cleanly on first installation attempt, which keeps your crew productive and your site on schedule.

06

Oversized Holes

Beyond standard
Countersinking glass drilling is a standard diameter and edge quality challenge we routinely handle. Our CNC machines produce larger-format geometry with polished or arrised options, suitable for standoff hardware and plumbing applications.
07

Countersinking

Flush mount
Recessed holes that allow hardware to sit flush with the glass surface. Essential for high-end residential, hospitality, and contract applications where exposed fasteners are not acceptable.
08

Surface Profiling

Custom detail
Detailed patterns, textures, and dimensional elements machined directly into the glass face. Opens creative possibilities for decorative panels, signage, furniture, and feature walls.
09

Max Panel Size

60″ × 124″
Large-format capacity that handles statement architectural pieces, oversized shower components, commercial storefront components, and multi-phase railing packages that smaller shops cannot accommodate.

Our Process, From Your Drawing to Finished Glass

A CNC panel is only as accurate as the file it was built from. Our intake process is designed to eliminate the translation errors that turn a good drawing into a bad panel.

Step 1. Submit your design.

We accept industry-standard DXF files, technical drawings, architectural plans, and physical templates that we can digitize in house. If you have a concept without formal drawings, our team will work with you to develop fabrication-ready files.

Step 2. Specification review.

Every drawing is reviewed by our production team before it enters the queue. We flag tolerance issues, hardware conflicts, and thickness concerns upfront, not after fabrication has started. This is where most supplier relationships break down. We make it the most transparent stage of the project.

Step 3. CNC fabrication.

Your file drives the machine directly. Five-axis tool paths are executed as programmed, with continuous monitoring for tool wear, coolant flow, and edge quality. Every panel is inspected against the original specification before it moves to finishing.

Step 4. Quality verification.

Finished panels are measured, visually inspected, and staged for delivery on your schedule. We handle multi-phase commercial projects with staged deliveries coordinated to your install sequence.

Precision in Every Panel

The difference between standard glass and precision fabrication shows up on site. Edges reflect consistently. Hardware fits on the first install. Curves transition cleanly without variation.

5-axis CNC delivers that level of finish through consistent tool control, access to complex angles, and repeatability across every panel.

The result is glass that meets your specification from the first piece to the last, without adjustments, delays, or rework.
