Trying looking for those glass factory. They should be able to do the cuttings for you. Cost wise i not really very sure...

You can get a glass cutter from the DIY shop... looks very much like a box cutter but with thicker blade. Use it with a long metal ruler to cut as well. After cutting the line, place a small plastic or rubber block below the line and apply light pressure with your hands on glass. Important thing to note is that fresh cut glass edges are very sharp!... I would recommend professional glass cutters. West side I don't know any glass shops but you can ask those framing shops... most of them provide this services as well. Hope this infor helps.

I've seen them cut glass before, basically the just run the cutter along a ruler, then snap it off quite easily... afterwhich they grid it down with one of those knife sharpening blocks my mother used to use...

Looks even easier than cutting acrylic!

Not that easy.......u need skill.

U need a table. F or G clamp. rubber matt.

Roller glass cutter better....not the diamond type.

Uneven pressure apply will caused problem...

ya, roller cutter firmly along a ruler on where you want to cut. then snap it with the edge of the plank which has to be longer than the cut line on the glass.
