I'll try and get a photo posted to clear the mud.

I still would like to find out how the bevelling is achieved in the QB factory, pretty sure is done by machine or with a really cool file jig or something.

Surely someone on here knows what we're talking about.
Yep, roger that, I could have taken a closer look at the post. My edge roller did give me nice results, though.
