I don't know about routing glass, but I do have a small grinding table for
stained glass work, awful messy as the wheel is in constant contact with a
watered sponge. Don't expect to get polished edges unless you are willing
to so invest a lot of money in graduated wheels.

Those modified routers may be just what is needed to use these router bits.
Thanks.

yes. you can do it with diamond edged tools in a glass router (grinder). the
diamonds are held in a sintered nickel backing. they don't look like normal
router bits though, as they have no edges.

you can get a polished edge by carefully heating it in a kiln, but that
usually looses most of the profile. a wet belt sander can also be used, but
then you're limited to a flat profile. you can use a flexible backed diamond
pad on a hand grinder to do roundovers. the grinder will have to have a
center water feed.

I have seen some elaborate machining of glass. This was done with a
computer controlled mill and copious amounts of water coolant. A thick
blank of glass was reduced to about 30% of its initial weight by relief
of material from one side. Anything is possible if you have enough
money and time.

Yeah, I think "Ol' Blindie" and "One-eye" gave it a shot.

How do they ensure the accuracy of the cutting diameter for the full length
of the cutter? It seems as if you would get grooves where the diamonds are
"high".

There were a couple Elu router on eBay a little while back that had been
modified for use on glass. I'm not sure what all was done to them, but they
had a bottle attached to the side with a tube going to the base plate to
lubricate and cool likely.
