Professionals sometimes do things because they are faster and more
efficient, not because they are better. They also get a lot more
practice! I have finished edges with a torch, and found it leaves you
with uneven thickness along the edge, which may affect sealing on
something such as a window. The edge sort of "mushrooms". For some
applications, that would not be an issue. I find it is not very daunting
to finish the edges starting with a belt sander and then hand sanding
with a block before going to a buffing wheel and compound for the final
polish.

I was advised, by a professional, to use a propane torch to finish the
edges. It makes sense but I would have to practice a bit on scrap
before I tried it on the real windows.
