An edge modification apparatus for the modification of at least part of an edge of a panel (3), the edge where the apparatus provides a mounting means, an edge follower (4a) with an edge contact roller to follow at least part of the profile of the panel, a support structure (17) to allow movement of the edge follower relative to the panel, an edge sensor capable of determining the slope of the profile of the edge, a force application means to apply a vectored force to the edge follower to press the at least one contact roller (4a) onto the edge of the panel, the force application means such that the resultant force to the edge follower is in a direction to press the at leat one contact roller onto the edge and substantially not along the edge (save for optionally a very small component in the direction of travel of the edge follower along the profile) wherein also provided is a means to generate relative movement between the edge follower and the planar object to thereby induce movement of the edge follower the edge and wherein the edge follower includes a means to modify the edge of the panel.
