LF glass cutter
 
I need to cut and make a glass top for the BC29. One of the fire gobbies went to fishy heaven in my dog's stomach. :mrgreen: I don't want it to happen again

Can anyone point me in the right direction - person or business- if anyone has experience with this I am all ears.

They are cheap at your local hardware store you basically score the glass and snap it. Getting the edges smooth is the tough part

How do I polish out then edges? Is there a rubber/plastic trim I could cover the edge with?

Man, I knew that belt sander was a good buy when it came on sale but the wife just didn't want to hear about more tools. :mrgreen:

IMO the second best belt sander for glass, I prefer the slightly larger Mikita electric belt sander but has a bit of a price tag

Wifey won't be your friend :mrgreen:

I like the pneumatic one, fits in with the plans to get a compressor anyway.
