but thats what the safety glasses and gloves are for. ;)
If its really not recommended to try, thats fine.  I dont have to have it by any means, but it sounded challenging, and challenging is fun.

Franco B:

Depends what you mean by safety gloves.

How are you intending to cut out a section of glass, just out of interest?

I just don't want to see (or be responsible for)  anyone attempting to score a square section out of some glass and them attempt to punch the middle out with some marigolds on.

Whats a marigold have to do with gloves? lol
Well, I usually wear leather gloves when im working with glass.  Mechanix gloves for handling it,  or i have longer welding gloves when im trying to break it. (would hate to explain to the nurse how i slit my wrists)


Franco B:

Apologies, marigolds is a term/brand for washing up gloves over here in blighty.



I am intrigued what your plans are with cutting the glass and what you intend to do with beveling etc the glass. I'm interested because I have a potential project myself but I'm not sure how to approach it.

Isn't glass section cutting done with diamond powdered bits? Do they by any chance sell any for routers? :dunno
