good to know, thanks
Side question: With a CO2 laser cutter, do you think I could etch a piece of glass enough to score it and get a clean cut (and so I don't have to use a glass cutting tool)?

No, you"ll most likely break it.

I've tried it, several times with an already broke mirror tile. Doesn't work. All a laser does is randomly fracture the surface of the glass. It does this in a straight line, but since all the fractures are random, there's no path of least resistance for the glass to break. A diamond cutting wheel will carve a ditch in the glass, creating that path of least resistance needed...Originally Posted by Miles Stemp
