Abstract
The present disclosure provides a novel technique for creating bevels along the edges of flooring planks having a hard and rigid core layer, preferably comprising a magnesium-based cement or other type of curable binder material. The disclosed embodiments use the inherent time it takes for a cement binder in the core layer to harden and cure to concurrently shape bevels along one or more edges of the rigid core layer for one or more flooring planks.
