Dumb question.  Most of the things that I have read suggest a 1/8" 
bevel.  Is this 1/8" the reduction in radius or the hypotenuse?  The object 
of abuse is a 10" quartz blank.

Just put a measuring tape to it and measure the physical width. Between
1/16-3/16" is sufficient. It can be good to leave less and then bevel later
if you get a bad TDE you want some "help" reducing. Just don't use it as an
excuse to make a really wide bevel, or bevel away the entire mirror! ;) 

Have fun, 

Mitchell
