## Abstract

The present invention concerns a piece of equipment (1) suited to process a glass sheet (L), comprising an edging device (8) and a workbench (4) suited to be mutually moved with respect to each other in order to allow an edging operation to be performed by the edging device (8) on at least one edge (B1, B2) of a piece resulting from a cutting step during which the glass sheet (L) has been cut, the workbench (4) being suited to define the workbench (4) for the cutting step.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

-13. (canceled)

### Claim 14

Equipment (1) for processing a glass sheet (L), comprising:
an edging device (8);
a workbench (4) suited to mutually move with respect to each other in order to allow an edging operation to be carried out by said edging device (8) with respect to at least one edge (B1, B2) of a piece resulting from a cutting step during which said glass sheet (L) has been cut;
said workbench (4) being suited to define the workbench (4) for said cutting step; and,
said workbench (4) comprising a first portion (42) and a second portion (52), at least one of said portions being movable with respect to the other, said two portions (42, 52) being suited to be moved away from or towards each other, characterized in that said edging device (8) is positioned in an intermediate area between said two portions (42, 52) of said workbench (4), when said two portions (42, 52) are moved away from each other.
