That's not what I think of as faceting g. I'd just call it "cutting
a flat on a bead."

What is described is a long way from the faceting process, more like
cabbing.

Glass workers are more likely to call that 'cold working' or a form of
cold working. Sometimes the bottom of vases and other forms of glasswork
are machine ground (even handlapped) to remove puntil marks or help an
itme 'stand' correctly. On the bottom of a vase however the glass may
not be polished. And g;ass stoppers for glass bottles are often fitted
by lapping with a carbide slurry .Though of course there are faceted
beads and I have facetd beads my wife has lampworked.
As said, it isn't what most folks in the jewelry trade think of , when
they hear 'faceting'. The think of 'gem faceting' as in the process of
placing flats in an orderly design on diamonds, topaz, etc.
