The edge of a glass serving platter has been chipped-about 1/2 inch along the edge and about 1/2 inch deep. I know it won't look perfect but I would like to smooth out the sharp edge so it is usable. Thank you for any assistance!
Use a metal nail file.
Here are some ideas:

You might try calling a windshield repair place and ask them, or any glass/window installation store.
Use an emery nail board to sand the rough edge. Metal file is not strong and flexible enough.
If you have a Dremel tool and some diamond bits, you can probably smooth out the rough edges.
Be sure to use a mask and protective eye glasses if you are etching. This stuff flies everywhere. Even a bandanna over the nose will work. Good Luck! Hope it works for you.
See if this helps.

Absolutely!
I've had this situation with some glass pieces and have used my diamond knife-sharpening tool to smooth out the rough edges. I just pass the tool slowly and gently across the rough areas and end up with no more dangerous edges.
