Method for laser processing glass with a chamfered edge

A laser machining process is described for laser 72 machining glass or glass-like materials 62. This process machines articles 60 or features 90 in articles 60 with chamfered edges 96 in one manufacturing operation. Chamfered edges 96 are desirable in glass and glass-like materials 62 because they resist fracturing or chipping and eliminate sharp edges. Producing articles 60 or features 90 in articles in one manufacturing operation is desirable because it can save time and expense by eliminating the need to transfer the article to a separate machine for chamfering 96 after laser 72 machining. Alternatively, it can permit use of less expensive equipment because the same laser 72 used for machining can be used to form the chamfer 96 instead of having a separate process perform the chamfering 96. Producing chamfers 96 with laser 72 machining results in high quality chamfers 96 without the need for a separate polishing or finishing step.
