How do you cut tempered glass?
I am told it is likely to shatter if cut with glass cutter tool. Can it be cut with success using the diamond cutting disc on an angle grinder
No, you can’t cut it with anything without it breaking into little cubes. Sorry. If you need a smaller piece, then you have to order a smaller piece, because it simply cannot be cut once it has gone through the tempering process.
Tempered glass is very difficult to break by striking it on the face (I know because I hit a piece that was less than 5 mm with a hammer repeatedly and forcefully in order to get it to fit in a dumpster), but very easy to break if it is struck on the edge with a hard object, like a concrete floor (my boss did that once). It’s why they use it for tables and display cases.
But you can’t make the stuff smaller once it’s been heat treated because though it is tougher, it also a lot more brittle and instead of breaking into razor sharp shards, it will just crumble into little irregular cubes. I wish I had better news, but I don’t want you to spend money on tooling that isn’t going to work.
