| Grinding glass with stone rotary bit? |

I got a piece of glass cut at Lowes, but there appears to be a little nubbin on it. Can I grind it down safely using a rotary tool with a stone bit if I go nice and light? Or am I boned and I need to get another piece cut more cleanly? Thanks for any advice. |

I dont think power tools would be a good way to go with cleaning the edges of cut glass... I am no expert, but have dealt with glass cutting before and it is a pain in the ass... Suggestion: Do you have a sharpening stone? (Like one you would use to sharpen a buck knife) You may be able to gently remove any "nubs" from the edges with it (or pumice). EDIT: DUH! There is a simple tool called a glass file that is specifically designed to smooth the edges of cut glass... Can't believe I forgot about that... Either a glass file or pumice will work , I am sure... (Grain of salt with that one..) |

Perhaps a fine file. |
