It is essential that, procedurally, the coolant flow is deflected by a deflecting and flow dividing element so that it impinges on the grinding tool 31 from the side of the glass plate, advantageously dividing this coolant flow into a multiplicity of individual flows. Furthermore, it is important that each glass edge is processed by a maximum of two grinding units 21, 22 but always only by a grinding unit, and that the feed rate of the glass plate and the feed movement of each grinding unit 21, 22 are coordinated so that in the corner regions of the glass plate a smooth-surfaced bevel can be sanded.
