cutting glass ? and router costs

Hi all,

two questions,

first, has anyone cut glass on a CNC table ?
is it worth the effort ?

I'm looking at odd shapes for stained glass windows.


second question, different topic.

I have to put together a large router table to cut out parts in
aluminum, up to 1/8 thick. I've researched routers and plasma
cutters and am wondering if I would be better buying a table.

Techno-isel offers a 4 x 8 router table for $14,000. ready to run.
I figure my home built unit would cost about half that, but it would
take lots of time and effort and trial and error.

and you offer any suggestions ye sage group ?
