RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] cutting glass ? and router costs

Glass on a commercial glass cutting CNC table is usually not cut, but scored
with a wheel like you would do it by hand. A diamond scribe could also be
used for odd shapes.

Once scribed, then the glass could be broken out.

Hi Dave.

I've never seen glass being cut by a CNC machine.

That being said, a very slow feed rate and lots of coolant would be very
important. I know if I try and use my glass grinder without the coolant, I
break the part unless I take *tiny* cuts and let it cool between grinds.

Another glass guy on the group? cool!
