As far as speed, nothing like a beveler.
As far as beveling an edge 1/2" or smaller, nothing like an engraver. You have to get the technique down in order to bevel a short edge without nicking the corner due to the leading corner wanting to fall into the tiny area where the bit is. (You may want to start by using a small square of about 1x1 to use as a square to push with.)

Here's what you do:
Let's say you need a number of 3/8" x 2" plastic plates. Cut a 2" x 12" length from a piece of sheet stock.
Bevel the two 12" long sides.
Guess what? By beveling the 12" widths, before you cut the individual plates, you've already beveled the small widths.
That means, after cutting the individual plates, all that's left to do, is bevel the 2" widths.
