  Hello,
Don't try to cut THROUGH the glass with cnc, BUT...
Using a diamond drag tool (available from engraving machine
suppliers) you CAN make the scribe lines for your stained glass. You
will then "snap" it to shape OFF the machine...
Hope this helps,
Ballendo
P.S. You can also use CNC to position a sandblast nozzle precisely.
This is more suitable for creating "carved" or "frosted" effects.
