You can buy some diamound grit sandpaper and sand the edges nice and round (must be diamond grit and buy at glass shops). I use 3 different grits, 60, 100 and 120 to get a nice smooth finished edge. It takes a bit of arm work or depending on how many pieces you have, you can take it to a glass shop to finish the edges as well.

Silicone carbide is the choice sand paper for finishing edges you will have a hard time finding it so go too a glass shop to get it,the way its done without useing a production run edging/grinding machine is to use an electric disk sander or a belt sander with 120 grit,the guy at the glass shop should be more than happy to show you.
